Boring and honestly, more than a bit pretentious... Half a star because it works
Reviews for "Star Spangled Hero"

Ahh, I'm sorry you found it to be pretentious. Admittedly, it is incredibly on the nose about its subject matter but I was hoping how direct it was would be part of the charm. I'll take that into consideration in the future though.
Thanks for playing anyway.
It looks very good, and the shooting feels very good (and the banjo-kazooie style text speech was cool too). A couple suggestions, bring the text box to the bottom so you aren't shooting through it. I'm not sure whether that was the intent or not, but it is visually a little annoying. Also there is no real challenge. I stopped shooting, and i never died and my score never went down, which makes this more of a counting app than a game. A simple challenge though will make this a very good game.

I'm glad to hear the shooting feels good! "Game feel" was something I was trying to experiment with when I made this. Hopefully the explosions feel good too.
I think you're probably right about the text box. Probably should have raised the ground up a tile and put the dialog down there.
In regards to there being no challenge, that was sort of part of the theme/message/whatever. I should probably stop choosing themes that are conducive of bad game design decisions. lol
You can't lose.
