Some criticism would be that the AI for the boss is pretty unfair, since he has so much health and when it reaches phase 2, he can basically corner you with bullets and you are forced to run into a bunch of them.
Just running around and dodging was fun enough tho, and the endboss was not too imposible.
Thing to improve would be clearer visuals to know when the player gets hit (sprite flash?) and perhaps an enemy with a slightly different moveset.
Nicely done!
The only issue I have is with the game play balance. It seemed that my character was invincible. I could just pick up the water container and just run through all enemies until I found the target patch. My first impression was, that the enemies were a little too aggressive and many in numbers, but after I found out they all die after one hit and don't really do any damage, that thought was thrown out the window.
Nice touch to have a different tile map on the later stages, but since the core mechanics didn't really change, I lost interest upon finishing the first level of world 2. Still,a very pleasent experience. The fighting was my highlight :) Spears ftw!
