Firstly congrats on getting a game done in the time.  I played all the way through, and found it quite good.

Graphics wise, it's well done.  The characters are really fun, and the background parallax is subtle and suitable.  I like how the instruction are pinned to the background.  Works really well.  The cutscenes are done well and it's always nice to have a story as opposed to just a game to play.

For the improvements, please add skip options on cutscenes.  On my first game it crashed after the enemy shot me, while I was rolling towards him, so I had to quit and start the game again.  Having to sit through seen cutscenes is painful.  The main character walks pretty slow, but that is just personal preference I guess.

Overall though it's a fun little game, well done.

Thanks for playing my entry too.
