Really nice graphics and music! I had finished it and I like the star collecting mechanic which make the game become more challenging. Well done!

I don't think mine worked entirely right... I had no music.
Fun game. I would recommend making it a little easier (maybe spread out all everything) just because there's so much for the player to manage (shoot bear, pick up certain colors, dodge bullets).
I loved the graphics, music and sound effects for the game. The atmosphere which the game created was fun. I liked your risk-based game idea. I died many times because of my risky strategy!
Cute little game, liked the square bear and he music was pretty and fit the pacing well.
Pretty hard to progress through, but very pretty and mechanically quite solid!
Foxtacy: I really enjoyed every single aspect of it.
I did notice you used haxeflixel, i tried it a while ago, how much better has it become?
A bit difficult but solid game!
The graphics were excellent! Nice work!
I don't think the main mechanic of collecting stars worked very well. Maybe it would be better if you just had to collect 6 or 3 power ups in a row, rather than in pairs, because if you wanted to try to get something of a certain colour you have to make sure both of the 'containers' were empty. I also found it better just to avoid bullets rather than try to collect them.
I also didn't find the slowing down time mechanic all that useful, I could move between the bullets without really using it.
Often games smooth the motion by making pressing a direction accelerate you in that direction, rather than just immediately moving at constant speed (for example, this happens in Mario games), which is actually easier to use rather than choosing between moving at a fast or slow speed, and would make the controls much simpler. Than maybe you could make pressing both buttons do something else
The game looks and sounds nice very good though!
Gems were difficult to work with, but once I stopped caring about getting them as much I was able to survive much more easily. Loved the music, too. There was nice variety and it was all very enjoyable.
