I really like the way you killed me in level 3, slowly etc... really funny. :)
At first i thought it was procedural, i had to retry to see it. I think it would add a lot if you has SOME (not all) procedural elements that are not primordial, i now it's hard to balance etc...
Great entry !
With that fact out of the way, this is a pretty good game!
A bit short, obviously I would have liked more levels.
Also everything is really tiny on screen, you could probably just scale it to 200% and imho it'll be more enjoyable.
You have a neat basic game, I can only encourage you to continue with it and make a lot more levels!
I can feel that you put everthing you add to make the game pleasing visually without a lot of art skills, and it works very well! The visual and audio feedbacks are on point, everything was always understandable immediately. The music was enjoyable too. Great job!
