Loved the pixel art! The weighing down enemies mechanic is an interesting idea, but the execution seemed a little inconsistent - sometimes enemies would fall over but keep moving.

good art and music but sometimes the enemies do fall over and keep moving yeah (like the above comment), but its a good game overall

It was a bit slow for my taste, and the graphics were pretty boring. Nice work though.
I love that you can tip the enemies over and they still chase you on their backs.
The pixel art reminded me of old Atari style, which was cool.
I felt like it needed more feedback when you were shooting the enemies, like having them flash or get pushed back or something. The pixel just sticking to them was not very clear that I was "hurting" them at first. Same for enemies hurting the player - it wasn't clear if I was even getting hurt or when.
It was ok. The hud seemed to vanish on the 2nd level. Didn't like the sound effects. Level design was mostly good though, i got "tricked" by the water before the end in the first one :) the camera made it look like it was infinitely deep, but it was just 1 tile and didn't hurt at all. the link to the theme is uh, very tenuous indeed.
Cool art. I was excited when I saw an option to use a joystick but when I tried it, it doesn't seem to work. -- Is it a bug? -- Also, usually clicking to shoot only makes sense if you can actually aim with the mouse. -- Finally, you should give users more "padding" room for jumps -- but then throw stuff at them (like bad guys flying at them or shooting at them, etc.) -- then they have to use that wiggle room to avoid the obstacles. -- but forcing the user to make maximum distance jumps for no reason never feels that fun in a game. -- Good luck on the Windows Store!
The art was cool, and really well down. I loved the physics they were really fun to play around with. Player moved a little slow, but it wasn't that big of an issue. Shooting was satisfying as well. Overall good looking game!
I loved the graphics and the sound effects, but it was slow paced and there was no music, so it got boring, on level 2, I think, the GUI was gone and I was immortal, I noticed that the shots sometimes went over the heads of enemies.When I tried to quit I was unable to, so I had to Alt-Tab out. Didin't really see the shapeshifting.
I like the concept, but in the end it doesn't really affect the gameplay, it still is just a shoot at things until they die kind of game. Still, everything worked smoothly and even as just a shoot at things until they die kind of game it was still enjoyable.
