The amount of the level that you can see in front of you is a bit limited though, especially with the player always being in the center of the screen at all times -- this makes it difficult to see what enemies lie ahead.  Expanding the view and letting the player move more quickly might be worth looking into."},{"author_name":"Big Cow","author_uid":"51323","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 10:27pm","epoch":1429654920,"text":"cute character models and some nice enemy design (I liked the challenge of avoiding the green blobs being thrown at you)."},{"author_name":"MegaMasterX","author_uid":"20152","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 3:24am","epoch":1429759140,"text":"Nice interpertation of the theme!
