Since the game's a bit finicky and hard to control, checkpoints would be nice.

I agree, randomly go thru all the games before repeating.
I'm terrible at platformers, but just made it thru this one. Enjoyed the puzzly nature of the game. The wandering critters were fun, too.
It seems like the player is immobilized between waves for half a minute -- completely unnecessary. It's completely unclear what you're investing in for passive and aggressive talents.
Impressive for 48 hours, but not much of a *game.*
More fun than it had any right to be. Picking up the ninja star (or rock, if you insist) in tight spots was trickier than it should be. Also, enemies tended to kill themselves on the star lying on the ground.
Played web version, got to invisible wall before cliff, no bulldozer? Had to commit suicide.
Fun, but lacked variety. Blowing stuff up felt good.
Worked fine in OS X 10.7.5. Fun game, nice mechanic.
Too fun. Great pixel graphics and blood!
Audio worked in Chrome and Firefox for me, OS X. Maybe it's just me, but it's annoying to listen to lyrics and read text at the same time. Probably one verse of Amazing Grace would have sufficed.
Your writing is solid, very minimal, yet evocative. I would like to see it cleaned up and developed into a longer story. Reminded me a bit of *The Reapers Are the Angels* by Alden Bell, for setting and protagonist (check it out if you haven't read it).
Nice mechanic. Be sure to link the Web version on this page.
If you pursue this, maybe make it so inventory is not so limited. Or, if you keep the limitation, remove traditional roguelike curses, etc. and make everything helpful, or immediately identified.
Got stuck, any way to restart a level? Controls are a bit soggy, but nifty concept.
Why is blinking so complicated? Why not just one left click?
The idea is interesting, not sure how many levels you could make with the concept, though.
I think there has to be a repercussion for your choice. There's no connection to any of the characters to begin with, and fade to black robs your decision of any weight. There needs to be an epilogue -- even if you kill one person, it doesn't prove the identity of the other, so there is still ambiguity.
Also, the text needs to be skippable.
Seemed clunky.
Some interesting ideas, but execution is lacking. Kudos on doing this all for web, though.
Good atmosphere, but music loop too short. Not much to go on where to pick up more light and stuff, so doesn't feel like I have many decisions to make.
Similar to The Binding of Issac. However, kinda clunky and not very good looking.
Had fun, clever, concept could be developed into a long game, I think.
Thanks for the love, everybody.
Impressive. The only bugs I got were getting hung up on door frames if approached too obliquely, and walking through the desk's surface.
Interesting concept, not taken far enough. Your choices don't affect anything important.
Bouncy piano music seemed out of place, but speeding it up was effective. Nifty graphics, interesting premise. I got a bug where when I died it seemed to leave a section of ladder instead of a corpse sprite.
Too old school, I don't have the patience to walk back after dying instantly each time. However, mind-blowingly beautiful graphics, and perfect soundtrack.
Inexplicably compelling...
