For the price its alright. Its a fun concept, but not much level or enemy variation. So it gets repetitive after about an hour. I wish games like this would incorporate more randomness in level design. So you're not just doing the same thing, over, and over, and over again. I see they are making a new one. Hopefully there will be more variation.
