Only wish the max on fire rate/spread was higher so it would be a little more bullet-hellish. :)
You'd have guessed "snowmen" were the theme at the beginning.
Nice job overall.
Things that could be improved:
More difficulty for the later levels. For me it was the weather channel that was the hardest for me, since once I had all the power-ups the game didn't get any harder
A reason to keep grabbing power-ups. Perhaps something like them only lasting for a certain amount of time, so they're not pointless in the later levels.
A softer fire noise. I liked the music for this game, but I found the fire noise a little too high pitched and grating.
Apart from those issues, I thought this was quite a fun little game!
The audio is impressive. Nice work!
A bit more difficulty in the later levels wouldn't hurt though.
I really liked the aesthetic here. It's the best kind of madness. Low res backgrounds, enemies that looked like pickups (it was difficult to convince myself not to grab the lollypops), great music for each channel, loved all of it.
I'd like to see some kind of transition between channels. Maybe a flicker of static for a couple of frames? But otherwise I really can't fault this for what it is: a simple, fun sidescrolling shmup.
