Interesting

It'd be nice to have a pause button so we could stop and take a better look at the images. I guess while you're at it, a back and forward button wouldn't be too hard. Maybe it just skips back 100 frames with each click or something.

Nice!

I like it. It reminds me of those brief moments when I actually enjoy watching Noggin with my kids. And I mean that in a good way. (like a good They Might Be Giants Song).

Not so much

I liked the expressions on the face, but beyond that it just wasn't that funny to me. You animations were fun, but I felt like your story lacked wit and interest. We've seen the over-the-top-violence-is-funny thing a lot already. This barely had anything to do with St. Patrick's either, which makes it less funny to me. I think if you collaborate or refine the storyline, your next one will hold higher ratings for longer.

Great for such a simple concept! I'd like to see a mobile version. Have you tried porting it out to Android?

I liked it.
Pros: -retro fun,
-nice explosion graphic

Cons:
-Music seemed wrong and fatiguing.
- I got stuck on the first screen where the cannon shoots arcing shots at you with the aliens. I entered the screen again after dying by the cannon, and couldn't move left or right. only jump.
- Gameplay wasn't as smooth as I'd like, but I have a lot of windows open right now so that could affect it.
- Pause and game control menus should be a mouse button on screen. I finally figured out the pause, got into the game controls (to figure out how to change weapons), but couldn't figure out how to resume or leave the controls description screen. A resume button would be handy there. (finally read your notes to figure it out).

Great first start. I played for about 1 min. before being done. I think the biggest negative is that my ship orientation has nothing to do with either my movement or my gun. having mouse-controlled guns and arrow-controlled movement may be challenging, but not in a good way, IMHO. I think this would be better with classic asteroid-style ship movement (if you built this in Flash, check out Keith Peters "Actionscript 3.0 Animation - Making things move!"), a fixed front-oriented gun and sound effects. I'd also like to see more interesting things to shoot. Try also having big asteroids split into two--or maybe split open with a baddie inside. Lots of fun options.
