Really funny game! Unfortunately too few waves (this is not reducing my rating), i want to play it more!

I really enjoyed the graphics for this! It was a light-hearted game that was enjoyable and a very unique concept - definitely haven't seen a game like this before.

I had a lot of fun playing through this little charming game! :)

The satisfaction of hitting the "enemies" was very good due to the sounds implemented. Being able to hit multiple animals was a good idea. I think the difficulty raise during the game was also fair.

I guess some "boss levels" would add depth to the gameplay. The easiest way would be having a boss animal with multiple hit points or if it should be more complex, then you could add a kind of armour, where you first have to target specific areas on the object before you can attack it.

Good job making this polished game! :)

Nice shooter arcade game. I like the fact that ammo is unlimited so I have less burden and focus more on shooting and completing this game.
