Definitely minimalistic in the gameplay department :) Would be nice with more freedom of movement and faster missiles. Liked the title card :)

it played fairly well but missiles certainly appeared to be rather too slow, and I'm not sure why you would use the space bar when you can use x

This is an interesting type of shooter, the falling hot air balloon was an idea I haven't seen before. It was good how it got more difficult the more rounds you survived, but the walls of enemies were kind of cheap. The game could really use a different way of being harder. As for the player, there's really no reason not to just hold down both shot buttons, so that could use a little more thought. Otherwise, very good work~

Hmm - I really liked your sprite design, but the end of each level ie. the brown bit confused me. Was I dying? I guess it just repeated until I died? Not bad - but more instructions were required. Still it played and didn't crash and I did things - so WIN!

Very pretty :3
I like the missile-shooting ducks.
