Overall: It's ok. The art is cool and the music was ok. Game play, basic.
Gameplay could use some work, as the concept is overly simple, especially for a jam entry. Considering this was a team of four, I honestly expected more...
The music, however, was my favourite part of the game and kept the whole thing enjoyable.
Gameplay was fun, and I liked that you left the option open to change the level design around by going to the narrow upper level.
Having a few sound effects (like one for each of the types of shot, one for hitting an enemy and another for an enemy hitting you) would have helped the immersion a lot, but a solid entry all the same.
