The game is a good entry. Its greatest failing is the numerous bugs that plague it.
I love the levels! The background art is full of personality and in-jokes. It is also easily the most detailed background art I've seen in any of the entries. (Including my own, I really should have worked harder on that) It reminds me of some of the side-scrolling beat-em-ups from the 90s, little visual gags strewn about here and there.
The music is a bit on the loud side, but totally awesome! Cheesy butt-rock, and such a good match for the gameplay.
The gameplay is simple, and I've never liked mouse controls for shooting. But the varied and entertaining weapon selection helps to liven it up nicely. Handing the character a flamethrower and a chainsaw later in the level is fantastic. The jumping is probably one of the weaker aspects. It doesn't feel like there is any real weight to the character, and jumping in general doesn't benefit you any.
The animation isn't stellar, but it is definitely above average. It looks like it was done with code. Given the dynamic nature of the main character, and his response to the aiming, this would make sense. The fact that additional characters can be unlocked is a rather impressive feature. It doesn't make as much sense for a brief flash game, but my hat is off to you anyway.
