Suggestion: Player should lose money when he is shooting, as I could only stay in center and just smash shoot button )
The graphics are overall good (especially the color palette) but not consistent (I notice a difference in style between the characters and the background). The controls are dead-simple and that's good. The timing adds a well-balanced challenge.
Keep it up!
It had a little too many sprites on screen for my taste xp
The spin attack was nice but it felt a little under powered.
Levels are a bit too long (in time) for the simplicity of the core mechanic and the enemy rate is not particularly balanced (Lv.1 already becomes a nightmare halfway through), so I think decreasing the enemy rate (from Lv.1 onwards) would definitely help you scale up the difficulty in a more natural and nice manner.
Aside from that it's a really fun idea. I like games with simple yet addicting gameplay, and this entry is one of the finest examples I've seen this LD. Great job! :)
