This is a fun game and the pixel art is nice but there are two things I feel are holding it back.
First is the lack of reward, however, this is more of a small peeve; you unlock a character at 10,000 dots but it would be nice to have another character or two to try reaching beyond that. This way the game has a little more replay value.
The second thing is that once you come to a certain point there's so much going on on-screen that the game begins to lag very badly causing the player to be hit by projectiles.
Except for one important fault, it was a nice game overall. Hope to see what you bring in the future.
