A neat game. The enemy difficulty seems just right, and the first boss was a generally neat idea. The sound is cute without being invasive, the enemies are quite fun, and the character designs have a great style to them. All in all, this is a fun little game to play.

However, there are some problems. The textures, for example, are pretty awfully rendered. Low res textures are OK, but really you either need to lower your screen resolution, or do some sort of anti aliasing, or perhaps just use a better looking re-size algorithm. Also, the interface looks pretty awful, and theres no in game quit button. I had to cad out of it. Oh, and the camera scrolls too slowly. If you can address those problems this game could start to really realise its potential.

Graphics - 7 (pretty neat, though i'm ignoring texture problems here)
Sound - 6 (if it's original, it's not stated anywhere)
Gameplay - 6.5 (fun for a little while)

That averages out at about a 7. It's a fun little game, i'd reccomend it for a 5 minute time kill.
