I really like the purple colour scheme, the music, and I especially like the rain effect.  All it needs is *more*: scores, lives, a few extra modes and enemy types would be a lot of fun.  I kept accidentally pausing the game when I clicked one or two pixels off the rightmost edge where the flying enemies appear: it would be a good idea to add a small border so you are still clicking on the flash (or simply don't let it pause when it loses focus).  You did a fantastic job!  Keep up the great work."},{"author_name":"Sparky","author_uid":"759","time":"Aug 24, 2010 @ 1:13pm","epoch":1282655280,"text":"I agree, I find the hopping guys too hard to click on.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>This is pretty nice other than that.

I originally intended to compete but time was too short for me to submit in time. I teamed up with my biz partner [ @DirkRugged ], got a wicked song from GreaseMonkey [ @iamgreaser ] and completed the game in time for the jam.\r\n\r\nPlease be candid!
