I played this up to 2500 score x). Cool music and feedback on enemy death.

Really fun gameplay, and I like how you use romance when you fire so you have to be careful to not waste shots. Really enjoyed this game :)

Pretty cool but it took too many clicks to download it.

I was in love with this from the title screen. I want a mobile version of this to play when I'm sad.

I love that shooting hearts makes you lose points, but you regain them when you beat back the mean words. This is seriously fantastic.

It's an oddly affecting game. I know it's a simple mechanic but I actually felt something playing this game.I love the message behind it. :) thank you for making this game. I loved it.

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I'm really glad you enjoyed it! A mobile release is a pretty real possibility a bit down the road. I've already put it on my phone just for showing to people, but it'll take a little more adapting before I think it's ready to be released on mobile. Thanks again for playing!

nice shooting game. There was good feedback, maybe if it got harder and harder to keep up and aim. At first I thought the rankings made my shooting better, but wasn't sure. good job!

Fun game play. Cute simple graphics. The angry people have really terrible things to say...

nauseating :) got a bit repetitive, single mouse click firing felt unresponsive once you get rapid fire upgrade 'cos it looks like it waits for the next fire 'beat' rather than immediately starts firing when you click, took a while to realize i could just hold the button down :)
