Love the idea and the hand drawn style, but I felt it needs a bit of fine tuning. I think having the main weapon on a counter with cool-down is a bit harsh in the later waves when it takes multiple shots to take down the enemies with shields and the bullets fired at you simultaneously. Often found myself out of shots waiting for them to replenish when I got killed. With some fine tuning though and a bit more time this could be sorted out to make a great little game.

A very different game to be sure, especially minus the theme, though the game has it's own theme sort of which is interesting and at least fits MS Paint.  There's also a decent amount of enemy variety besides just health, of which I didn't see too many that changed their health anyway, which is both good and bad?

The power ups system is a little unexplained, especially the way it switches and the amount counts, etc.  Most of the time I just used the default weapon and hoped for a shield so I could be able to survive a hit.  

Speaking of that, the game is pretty punishing not having any sort of health, and not being able to move in any way with enemies coming from all directions.  Though I did manage it somewhat it's definitely pretty hard depending on the enemy spawns you get, sometimes you just.. die.  Too much stuff to shoot.


A decent game overall.  To finish off though there is a really big bunch of lag I believe from the particles that made surviving more enemies near impossible for me since I was unable to fire more than 2-3 bullets before everything started lagging out.  Otherwise though, it's definitely a nice base with the weapon variations and such, I do feel like more ammo for them would be nice though, it would make them a lot more usable.

I blowed up all the stuff!! It looked really good and I liked the textbook and hand-drawn style! But I wished the cannon was a soup can ;P Good work on this very smooth and satisfying destruction!

Fairly fun although a bit basic.  Although simple I liked the enemy and powerup variety.  It looks really well but it's too bad it doesn't really have anything to do with the theme.  Nice job overall.
