The purple items are fun to use
Like you said, it's a great time waster :P Plus matches the theme really well! I dig the clip-arty graphics, you don't see that everywhere x)
Good job on supplying a tutorial. I actually managed to die on the last tutorial rocket, but it credited me with surviving the tutorial anyway; it was very forgiving. :-)
I couldn't tell the difference between blue and green items, though. I thought the tutorial said something about using blue items three times, but I aimed it, let it loose, and it was destroyed, and I couldn't figure out any way to reuse it.
I was also unpleasantly surprised by the fact that if I took too long to aim an object, it would simply vanish. Indicating this countdown through some audio/visual method would have helped.
In the end, and because of these lost projectiles, the spawn rate of new projectiles was too low to adequantely keep up with the rockets, and there wasn't anything I could do to remedy this. Maybe if there were ways to play more efficiently, such as by taking out multiple rockets with a single projectile, I could build my way back up to having a few spare projectiles laying about. As it was, I had an empty play field, saw a rocket spawn, waited for a projectile to spawn, and then tried to click and aim it quickly, hoping that I still had enough time before the rocket hit the house. Usually I didn't.
I really appreciated the tutorial at the beginning. It was a lot of fun to use all the crazy different objects.
Fun Game. I liked the variety of weapons. Gameplay felt kind of slow, I think simply increasing the rate of enemies could make this a lot more exciting.
