Although I may be somewhat biased, I think this game's quite good! Fun and balanced with great art!

Good game. But it could be a bit boring after a while, as there is only one type of enemy. The sound effect is a bit annoying. You should add a background too.

Simple but enjoyable. Mechanics are solid, art is interesting and cohesive.

Didn't really see that I was dying, or that I was hitting anything. Kind of a mystery to figure out, but once I got it it was a fairly good experience with some cute graphics.

Kinda repetitive, you can stay near the portal and kill the enemies from there, the player needs an incentive to move out. Other than that, it's very well done.

Simple good game. I got 115 points. I don't really understand why there are ghosts kinda things and I have to swing a cactus, but random... yeah, that's it!

Very simple, but a solid experience. The cactus was a little disappointing though, too small.

Whacking ghosts with a cactus is certainly unconventional. :) This game wasn't very satisfying to play. I don't like how you're required to mash a button in order to maximize your damage output. The game seems to lack any strategic component. The graphics are okay.

Very reminiscent of super crate box - would be cool to see some more weapons or different enemies

Simple game but well executed. Good solid graphics. Perfect compo game.

Quite difficult game, because you have to defend ghosts from two sites. But I had fun for the time playing it. Some music could improove the mood a lot.
