Try to rename it (windows.zip looks dangerous to chrome).
Plays well under wine, not sure why OS X and Linux binaries weren't provided though, seeing as it's made in Unity.
Would be fantastic if it had networked multiplayer but obviously that is asking a bit much :P
The art and music is really good, thoroughly enjoyed it. Main feedback would be(and I understand - time limitations): make the power ups and their effects/durations more obvious and possibly have a never-ending game mode or some kind of time trial.
Great work!
