It's the basic launcher game, but both the art style and the music improve it somewhat.
The problem I have is that it's just too simple. There is nothing new or interesting added throughout the entire game, which is short as is. The only new element was the ice platforms, which is barely enough. If there were more interesting elements, like more power-ups etc., then I would have given it a higher score.
However, the splitting was fun, especially when you watch hundreds of rabbits rain down from the sky.
Overall, it's short and simple, but can definitely be built upon.

Thanks for the feedback. It's our first launcher game and we got most of the things we wanted in there. We are looking forward to doing another one though and you're right - upgrades would really improve it.

It's a very good idea, but gets boring quick, and is quite easy.
To deal with the boredom, give the player something that keeps their attention, like music or a background. You won't believe how useful a simple background is to keep a player interested. For a game like this, relaxing music is a must, but if you can, find some music that speeds up around the 20-25 second mark, to basically say "Hurry up!". Or you can speed it up yourself.
Yes, it gets difficult by adding different colours and more points, but how about things they wouldn't expect, like moving points, or lines that are already there? It'll keep it challenging and entertaining, if executed correctly.
Overall, it's an interesting game and concept, if somewhat boring. I'll be glad if you take one of my points into consideration if you plan on making a second.

I found this to be hilarious, well drawn, AND have pretty good music!
I can't really find any criticism for your movie, except maybe a little bit of timing issues, but totally not worth the time effort of writing.
Yep, you've got a brilliant movie here, mate.

I noticed the timing issues too. I find it's easier to time things out with a fps of 30.
I don't even bother with 12 fps anymore.
Thanx Mikey

Good for a quick diversion, and I'm not marking it down for that, but it's just... boring overall.
Sure, crushing things under your unquestionable might is fun, but it takes FOREVER for them to die, which is really weird, honestly.
Lack of music also puts me off, as the only sound you hear is the crushing noise (which may make other people feel a *ahem* certain way) and that just makes it uninteresting.
Oh, and it's annoying that there is the chance of the bugs covering a button, and then you can't actually click on the button, along with them running off the screen.
In short: Quicker actions, music, fix some bugs about the bugs (I hate myself) and a little more colour and background would be nice.

The art could use some serious improvement, and the music was 'meh'. However, the ending both surprised me and made me burst out laughing. I went thinking it was a dramatic piece, not... this.
If you improve the art, it would make the illusion even better.

A lot of fun to play, but damn, if it ain't hard!
It's radically different every level.
Stuck on 28, bush + pig? Christ, I dunno if that's even a pig...
Ah well, I'll get it eventually.
You bastard, you.

Yeah, that was pretty funny actually. The animation was smooth, the sounds weren't broken, and the joke was good.
The only irk is the length. It was really short. Good, but short.
I'll remember to go check out your other works. Damn, and that's your worst? I can't wait to see your best.

It was good to play through once to past the time, but far too easy, and nothing interesting to bring me back.
It's a good concept, but not the best execution of it I've seen.
One thing I noticed is that everything falls down at the same place, like the teeth are always at the far right, along with the candy corn.
Also, you can't go wrong with a nicer background. Something more interesting than a red gradient.
Decent attempt, but sure could be better.

P.S. Woo, 8th.

Don't submit it. Instead, try to improve it before unleashing hell and fury upon the portal. I didn't get past the third part of the maze when I got bored.
Several glaring issues are in this.
1. Music loop. When you lose in a game, you usually just get transported to the start. Not get grating noise that's supposed to be music repeating itself every time you fail.
2. Unoriginal concept. Please, if you're going to make another mouse maze game, try to have some original ideas to keep the player interested for more than 5 seconds.
3. Bad visuals. Please, improve the look of the game so it doesn't look so ugly and bland.
Major improvements are needed. Or, better yet, don't make another mouse avoider game to throw in the already stinking pit of the Mouse Avoider Bin.

An game of amazing quality, I had a lot of fun with this. Sure, not incredibly deep and the bosses ain't that hard, but it doesn't mean I'm not having fun!
I also like how you integrated the level system in both Arcade and Adventure, much easier and less frustrating to get to those secret weapons!
Only managed to get past the third world at this point in time but hey, I'll be back for more.
Great work mate.
