Don't ask me, I don't know either.

(Brief instructions are included in the game.)

With every enemy you kill, the view zooms out a bit. As soon as the Entire Game is on One Screen, the boss turns up.

I originally intended to create more than one level, each with a different theme to it. I managed to make just one, which happens to be Pacman themed.

I like the drawing skin. IMO, killing enemy in one shot should be more fun.

Charming little game, would be cool if the bullet sprite changed when you upgraded your weapon.

Hi there. Like the graphics and sounds. Nice scrunch of paper on death. Could maybe zoom out a little quicker. Good job!

This is a fun little game, and a cool idea. Like another commenter, I also got stuck when walking off screen.

Really cool take on difficulty progression... liked it, and the art style really fit it. Would have like a little faster pace, but I'm crazy like that. Good job. Thanks!

Nice game, for a weird reason i think that it didn't fit the theme much (the use of the theme is quite cool still). The game is definitly good.

That "easy" mode was.... not easy. I wanted to see the end -- the boss with the Entire Game on One Screen!

Wonderful visuals -- a great example of bang for the buck.

I think it would have been much easier with keyboard controls (heck, it may well have been easier with a mouse instead of the touchpad I played on).

Superb work!
