Ammos make you bigger and slower. Use them and you'll get smaller and quicker. There's no numbers or HUD, pay attention to the blue and green stuff. You get a score at the end. The higher it is, the better you are.
That's it. You should get the rest by playing.
If you're stuck, gently smash your keyboard. For real. It works.
Ha, pretty great. I wish you could get more than one shot per ammo, though... and the ammo disappearing right before I grabbed it a few times made it that much more frustrating.
Got a score of 87 on my first try. Nice game! Fun and the entire "pick up too much ammo and you'll get slowed down" is a good take on "minimalism". That said, you really don't get slowed down much, and I found myself mostly sitting on 2-3 ammo with no problems.
Really smooth game experience. Though I would really have liked a HUD showing my current score. When one of the enemies aimed straight at me and took several shots to kill I was happily surprised, but a bit disapointed with only receiving 1 bonus-thingy for it. :-)
Scored 68 first try. I like the concept of a game wherein collecting ammo also holds a penalty, and (although it wasn't obvious at first) where the number of lives is clearly on display. Also, the graphics are just complex enough for one to differentiate between objects; the very definition of minimalism.
Pretty cool, liked the ammo mechanic at first, though after the first 30 seconds I felt like I was always out of ammo, and couldn't make any headway against the increasing number of enemies. Maybe boosting number of ammo given by pickups?

I understand that some choices were "false good" ones and pretty much agreed with all you've written.
Maybe I'll try to write a "post mortem" telling why I make some of these choices. Not sure though.
Anyway, thanks again ! A lot. Will review your games back, of course.
