Pros:
Challenging Gameplay
Humorous (Effective) Upgrade Screen
Experience System
Cons:
Level Ups
None Else as Far as I Can See (Aside from my friggin' keyboard!)
I have but one word to say: Challenging! No matter your level, it is going to stay challenging. Slowly progressing in level until you reach level 12 (Which is Far Too Low) is a bit of a heart-pumper. Trying to dodge the bullets and rockets reminds me of Touhou (Without the Impossible Part). It definitely gets the point across about how you are but a mere spec of dirt compared to the Gun Emplacements up high. I really think that the 'Level Ups' need work, though. Not in any way do you need to change the way he levels up, but the number of levels you can gain as well as how many different areas he can level. 12 is, as I said, way too low. Most, if not All, RPG's (Be it FF Whatever or SMRPG) have much more extensive leveling systems allowing for 'Diversity,' which is a very important factor in making a game. None-the-less, I do believe it deserves more than people are giving it as the concept of it all is quite entertaining.
Ultimately: You MUST enhance the leveling up function from: "Here, grab gold coins, level up, now you are just as good as the last guy!" to "Here, grab gold coins, PICK what you want to level up, and now you are a diverse character capable of doing something other than the last guy!"
Very Great Job! You are OneSexyPaperBag (Though I prefer Plastic)!
