Fun... love the different weapons - reminded me of all the Contra guns, was waiting for the Laser! Didn't get one, don't know if it's in there, but I like the game, the concept, and it's really hard. :)

Good fun! The time limit is balanced so as to keep you on the edge of your seat. Only the powerup drops are a little too random, in some cases you don't get any powerup in the entire level.

This is really fun - love the power ups. I'd love to see this be expanded as it's a really good idea!

Pretty fun game. I liked the different types of guns, and the music too. And the difficulty curve was very good, a nice easy first level to learn on, and then the challenge starts ramping up nice and quickly.

The aiming at the little guys was a bit tricky though, since it seems to shoot the bullets just slightly to the left of the mouse pointer.

Nice game :)

Nice work! gameplay was pretty smooth, it was hard to hit the little guys, but things get fun every time you get the rapid firing gun.

Fun game! Powerups were great, normal gun not so satisfying. Was frustrating when an enemy was right under me and I kept shooting without being able to hit him, haha

Alright! Negatives first: audio loop was a bit short and some work on the graphics would be nice.

Otherwise: very nice to play, quite smooth, won like 3 levels and then gave up on the squar-ish one. I like that there is a strategy element to the game even though it is basically a top-down FPS. Are the enemies toads? :) Gratz!
