The graphics and sounds are quite nice. I would have liked some more visual effects when taking damage/shooting/killing enemies.
Also when I beat a wave of enemies an enemy from the new wave would often spawn on top of me.
It's a nice effort but It might be a bit too simple. Good job, though!

The art and sound gave it an eerie and quirky feeling. I liked earning powerups as I went along. I didn't like how enemies spawned on top of you. I felt good when I beat it.
Nice game! I really like the art!
The overall tone was pleasant, a cute graphic made up for the MS Paint visuals :) but the platforming was a bit too imprecise for me, and the sound was nice, but also a bit lacking. Good premise!
Gameplay-wise the execution is good. And the art style is very unique. However, I don't like the controls at all. Why force us to spread between mouse and keyboard ? Either give us arrows and keys to shoot, or mouse and click. Not a mix of both, I am not even mentioning that I don't have an english keyboard layout (my A and Q are swapped).

LOL, I kept dying at the alligator level, and finally my boss walked in my office and caught me playing games. So I shamefully confessed what I was doing and he said "that looks easy." So, yay! I'm not in trouble! I'm definitely going to try again later. This is fun. Great job on the game mechanics - it has everything a lot of the other platformers lack - like rewards, and increasing difficulty. Plus, a box that runs around jumping on birds and springy things is kind of funny.
I really like the art style. Simple but cool.
Great job!
Nice graphics, and cool gameplay! I really like the fact that the same level evolves as you play.

Movement was a little bit difficult, clunky almost. The jumping didn't seem very precise and the waves spawning on top of me did get old quick. Other than that, I found the game to be fun and a nice take on the theme. The upgrades were helpful and they kept the game from getting too old too quick. Great job!
Love the art style!

Nice game, I enjoyed playing it =)
Controls are a little bit glitchy to my taste.
