The gameplay could be more fluid. Dropping and grabbing the box break the gameplay. But i understand that this was intended. There is a small bug where I run out of the screen and couldn't get back.

A floating text message is not enough. You end up having the feeling your shooting key dont work anymore ( some tic-tic sound would also help to get this no-ammo feeling ).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>When you hit a monster the bullet stay frozen in the air, a small and fast impact animation would have work better.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I was not very fond of the loosing money instead of health mechanic. Having one million just give me the feeling I'm in a godlike difficulty mode with action replay ON.\r<br\/>The boss battle is especially a nonsense with all this big number damages decreasing a so large life pool.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Great work on character design and intro, this is a great heroine you have here she deserve a more badass name like Max Payne or Duke Nukem.

Box escort was a bit of a drag, but I think there's something there - perhaps if it wasn't such a handicap, just a slight one... adding reload to the box penalty seems harsh.

Really detailed and lovely animations - excellent colours and really engrossing work. At first I started by picking each enemy off with surgical precision (which was a bit difficult because some of my clicks didn't seem to register) but eventually I just picked up that crate (there's someone inside crumbling?!) and walked to the top.
