It's a very interesting concept. It was short and challenging. I find that the first level is the hardest to beat.

It's a threshold to keep the little kids out and let the big kids see the awesome ending.
Really like the mature cartoony style and the arcade feel. A bit challenging to complete the first time through, but honestly it seems to get easier as you get further into the game. The game makes you think more than most others of its type.

We really tried to make sure there was a bit of strategy to it and not just mindless walking in circles, although that's my personal preferred tactic.
Great job gents! Short, but very fun game. In fact not the game impressed me itself, but all this reference to other games which I not will point out because they're obvious. Really like title screen-very VERY creative. In the first I even didn't realized that the brain wrinkles are formed to the words- so spectacular! Game itself is hard indeed because of the cell, which is one of tiny sized. Unfortunately I can't valuate this work higher than 4, becouse 5 is reserved for "outstandings". But don't get upset my fine men! You were close. Just keep going that way and aim into perfection! Lots of prosperity for all five.

Hehe, many thanks. Glad you like it.
I'll give you a 4.0 because the game is well made in terms of art and programming. The gameplay, however, is a little lacking. Considering the game only consists of avoiding incoming projectiles/enemies while using them to kill each other, the speed(of the character) is justifiable, the problem is with the enemies themselves. They're too *smart* and too quick. It's too easy to get pushed into a corner because the enemies charge straight at you. This, of course, is understandable because there's no reason for them to wander around aimlessly, but it makes dodging *everything* too difficult.
I like the challenge and I was able to beat all three but I as a bit disappointing because getting the last medal is too difficult. It's hard to stay alive, much less kill them. For the time trial I think there should be a 10-second respawn or something similar, but either way, it's good. Keep up the good work.
Very original concept. Never seen a game like this before. It's kinda hard for me cuz the character isn't moving fast enough and he has a very few lifes but I guess with a little practice, I could have more fun.

Glad you like it. It is pretty tricky indeed.
