This game is a classic "shoot 'em up", but with something different. You are a pixel that goes against enemies very detailed, but why? I hope you enjoy "Pretentious' em Up!" and in the end the whole moral / metaphor that the game hides will be clear.
Have Fun! ------------------------

W A S D :: Movements G :: Confirm / Fire R :: When you are dead, if you still lives, this will be respawn
Nice polished little shooter. I completed it. Maybe it is even more fun when you are able to shoot faster, and with some enemies with more complex movement patterns.
I know you listed the keys above, but really wish firing were something other than G. I liked the sound and gameplay. Perhaps you could give a bit of invincibility when respawning?
Cool graphics, decent gameplay. Enemies get all bunched up on top of each other sometimes. G and R are really weird buttons to use, maybe just merge restart and shoot onto the same button and put it in a more predictable place like spacebar. With the gameplay as you currently have it you might as well just make it automatically shoot, there's no reason to every really stop shooting. Could use more contrast to the gameplay, instead of shooting everything maybe there is something to collect or avoid shooting. Also.. you really aren't supposed to use other people's art for Ludum Dare 48 Hour entries! I would have rather seen something you did yourself.
I loved the death animations! As well as the gradual pixelation.
Just so you know for the future the 48 hour comp doesn't let you use other people's graphics, you say "Good Graphics by Skorpio". The G for firing is a little bit awkward.
I enjoyed playing it and it's a good take on the theme.

I love how you can wait as long as you like before you respawn.

Well done.
