  • Great sound design. Sound effects and music were very enjoyable. Excellent theme interpretation and implementation. The game play was simple enough to understand and complex enough to enjoy the repetition of the enemy waves. Excellent job!

a really nice and simple game, anyone can play it but only those who invest time will get far. would like to see this game more worked out. only thing that kinda bothered me or rather distracted was needing to go to the shop button. looking forward on seeing more!

really nice art and fun although simple gameplay! i got to a best time of 410, but i'd say my main critique is that the combination abilities (or at least the one i saw, being the fireball looking one) seemed much less powerful than the original abilities (in this case being power level 5 and fire level 5), so balancing could probably use some work, and although the lack of animations isn't ideal, i do love the little purple guy so yeah cool game, i like the arcade feel.
