The re-appears are blocky and you can just get stuck. It makes the action look terrible. Try a flashing re-appear, where (as like other games) the character appears but will flash a different color for a small amount of time during which he cannot be harmed; to even out the effect you could prevent the character from firing during that re-appear sequence.

During the Stage 8 intro there was ActionScript button text.

It didn't seem that the gauges for the power pick-ups were working properly.

You could implement a scoring system. Points for each Frownie killed, vary by type & ordered by difficulty, plus bonus points for defeating all of the Frownies. Plus, you could make a timing system by making the next wave of Frownies appear a set amount of time after the all of the Frownies in the current wave are defeated.

There are 3 lives for the game, but I think an interesting model would be 3 lives per stage where you have a life gauge and if your health is depleted you reappear flashing. Do that 3 times and you have to continue. Also, if all of the presents are stolen you have to continue. Along with all of this you would get 3 continues.

With that last part new Frownies with special abilities would be interesting.

And of course it needs sound.

Keep working on it.

Look out! Du'o'ng is JEWISH!
A kike! A yid! A hebe! A hook-nose! He's kosher, man! He's a Red Sea pedestrian, and proud of it!

Great game. The controls were responsive, although I did find some "hiding spots" in a couple battles that kept me from getting harmed. Graphics are awesome throwback, like a pre-SNES PC title. The mechanics were a little Simon's Quest, which I loved, but the mood was a lot less dark, which is good because I hate when things are dark.

I adore the story. It's something that our children should learn. Destroy the dreidl spinners that get in the way of building a Benedictine church. Kids need to learn that you have to stand up for what's right and the only way to heaven is building churches in the name of our savior Jesus, the one true God.
