I like that the game is so fast paced. Took some time to master the spin attack :) Good job!

A bit simple, but otherwise enjoyable. I liked it.

Fun game. Great music, I'd like to be able to make something like that one day. Good pacing, simple fun game mechanics. Great entry.

Liked to just rush in to the enemy's but I feel like you can not win it what is kind of frustrating..

Pretty good, I would have like an extra mechanic in there to add a twist, perhaps something around recovering coins? Nice job overall. Huge swarm at the end is fun.

Nice music. Pretty captivate game :)
Suggestion: Player should lose money when he is shooting, as I could only stay in center and just smash shoot button )

Fun to start with bu gets a bit repetitive and mashing shoot can be a bit painful. Cool sounds, and fun idea

I love the different moves you can do like the ground pound and the art is nice, would of liked some audio and variation in the enemies.

I think your game gave me tenis elbow haha. I found no reason not to stand in the middle and spam the coin shoot button. I think on occasion I lost coins from it, but not often. Good idea, physics seem solid.

Fast and active game. I like how many sprites there are on the screen, how fast everything moves, and the music.
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!

Decent little shooter with a very fast pace.
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.

It's fun and graphics are cool. I like that there's a lot of enemies and that the monster moves fast. Great job :)

Difficulty doesn't scale well through the levels imo, but still a cute game :)

There is something super satisfying about spamming buttons and seeing so many baddies on the floor and this game had just that! I really enjoyed the fast paced but simple gameplay. Awesome work, keep it up!!

Fun game with awesome music and cute graphics!
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! :)

I just moved side to side mashing spin attack. I'm not sure how well it worked, I still lost :(

This is pretty fun. The spin move on a long line of enemies is really satisfying. Good job.
