I decided to remove the embed game here because it's 700x700 and the max. height is 600, sorry for that. Please play it in Newgrounds (the web link). Also you will be able to compete with others, there is a new leaderboard, enjoy!
Very simple game about a hungry Kiwi that has to eat as many kiwis as he can :).
In order to move on the screen you use the keyboard arrows, the Kiwi can move over all platforms and walls, if you change from the floor to a wall, the Kiwi jumps accordingly.
To jump you use the up arrow.
Avoid the red bullets, you only have 3 (changed it to 5) opportunities.
Maybe late I will add more controllers and gamepad support if people are interested on it.
I didn't mentioned the tools before, here they are:
Nice game! Really like how you used the theme, it gets pretty tricky trying to keep an eye on all the bullets. Solid overall, maybe the jumping could have bit more float to it.
Nice game. The controls get somewhat confusing when you change the wall in which the player is. I had the same problem in my game and changed to use up and down also. Cool art in the menu screen! :)
Very nice little game. I like the idea of going on each screen side with flipped gravity. Kudos on the title screen graphics, it's beautiful. I also like the music a lot, what tool did you use to compose it?
Such a cute title screen! Neat game as well! I Included it in part 2 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/QrqYJieiXWs
@drludus Thank you very much for your comment, I'm sorry I didn't specify about the tool, I'm going to update the description: http://soundation.com/studio I found that randomly, it's great! you can use a lot of free sound to compose whatever you want and download it as wav or whatever you need. To convert the final compilation to mp3 I used Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
I love the theme of a kiwi eating kiwis! That is so cute.
Walking on each side of the wall is a really cool idea. I think it would be cool that when you jump to a wall, if you could stick to it in the air. It would give a better sense of control. I wish that the canons in the corners would be outside of the stage a little bit, It made me not want to change walls because I thought I might get shot at and instantly hit.
I got 12! Interesting concept, simple and easy to use. Nice graphics as well. Overall great job and I found this game to be quite addictive, one of those challenging ones you know.
Very intriguing music, but your game lagged a lot. It too me a wile to understand I could go to walls, since I kept trying to ump on cannons :3 But still an awesome game, even graphics, and it was very fun!
Very nice game! I like the sweet theme with the Kiwi and being able to run along the walls. I found it quite difficult though - there's a lot going on at all times and the bullets require precise timing to jump. Also good audio side, although I felt that the chiptunes didn't match the theme very well. Good job!
Really clever, I like the idea of walking along the walls and ceilings. Dodging the bullets are a bit tricky though, maybe it would be good to have the Kiwi jump larger if you hold the button down.
Interesting concept, but it has a huge flaw in that when you want to move to another side... you normally have to get around the corner cannons. Since there's no real warning with when they're going to fire, it's very easy to get hit just by a corner cannon, much less all the other ones firing at the same time.
The implementation just seems a bit... sloppy I suppose. All of the cannons seem sort of haphazardly thrown in to make the game more difficult... but it comes at the price of making that difficulty feel really cheap.
Some nice things may have been giving the cannons a "warming up" animation, so you can identify when they are about to fire. Cutting down on the number of static cannons in the game and adding the possibility for them to move, so that they still can potentially shoot anywhere... it's just less all at once. This could be introduced slowly so that they don't move much at first and get more intense at time progresses.
This was interesting and inventive, if somewhat disorienting. The mechanics were fun once I figured out what was going on. I found the jump noise to be a bit too powerful compared to the rest of the audio, and it really felt as though I should have been able to switch walls by jumping. The cannons in the corners - right in the player's movement path - made me want to be able to jump over them and made me worry about them generating bullets inside me. I think those should have been embedded in the walls somehow. It's quite entertaining though.

Concerning the game, it's quite hard to score, but it's still totally enjoyable. Good job for the music too!
Music is catchy and I like the visual style you're going for.
It does have a good gameplay ^^. Controls are hard at first but it gets fun when you master them.

Great game though! Good job. :)

(I played three rounds, scoring 7, 8, 8.)
