Let me add this up...
Base of 5, just because I can.
+2 for smooth control.
+2 for great animation and design
-1 because there are no sounds
-2 because it gets boring FAST
So that's a total of 6 over all.
There are a few things which need fixing:
The menu needs to be larger.
When you star the game it lists the caterpillars as giving you points, not taking them away.
There really needs to be sound.
A story would be nice too. You could break it up into levels, change the sprites for a different feel each time, and add a score target.
Other than that, good work.
