At first I thought the ballance is way off, but after a while I developed a system first shoot yellows, which kind of puts you in wrong position cos the reds will eat your land. Very exciting, would love to have sounds and maybe some particles. Otherwise nice and enjoyable (but from this kind that makes you angry when you lose :D) well done

The fact that there are homing yellow bugs and red, land destroying ones really forces the player to choose carefully its target... Should one better lose land or lose a life ?
I just found a game breaking bug. If you jump and then land in water... you'll be able to walk normally on the water.

The acceleration on the controls felt a bit too heavy and I feel a bit more tightness would help make them feel a bit less awkward.
Another thing I'd suggest is adding some sort of indicator, for example a shadow under the player, to the jump to make the player's current height clearer (as otherwise it gets a bit confusing in a 2D environment like this).
I enjoied it, though I appear to suc kat it ^^
I recorded myself playing it. so, if you like you can watch me play it on youtube today or tomorow. depends.
