Keep the yellow guys out of your circle.
Throw items at boxes to break them.

Aiming was a little awkward at first, and it took some getting used to. For whatever reasons I think I keep expecting the projectiles to originate from the arrow rather than the character, so I instinctively use the arrow to judge throwing arcs. Maybe if you had a little arrow orbit around the character, rather than rotating beside him.
I really liked the item variety, good humour there. Throwing 'Australia' at someone got a laugh out of me.
(It didn't take the items I found into account on the title screen, but who really cares ?)
