I couldn't download the file. We figured out that it was because the "f" and "d" in "handcrafted" need to be switched. Your URL needs to be updated.

Alright, took a bit to understand but I powered through it. Seems like there is a lot of content to this game, but the game itself is still very rough. I would say this game has the same issue I had with my earlier game jam entries, where I would try to make a full complete game in the short time frame and end up with an incomplete faulty game. While this game gets points for amount of content, it is still missing a lot of core stuff. The lack of sound is disappointing (use the free sfxr to make them fast), but also no UI and many graphical/game glitches. I think those should have been addressed before more content. I would suggest that next game jam to focus on just getting one level and the core game down, then only add more content if there is time. Unfortunately, while game jams can be a great place to display experimental games and get feedback, most game jam players don't spend more than few minutes per game. Got to hook them by then or you are not going to get them. Short and smooth, that is the new rule I follow for game jams (trying to anyways :-P ).
Anyways, my Compo game is over here, if you want to have a look: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/squirrel-puncher-4000
