srry for late reply, was away for three days... the game is good, mechanics are easy to understand... but the game is a little slow paced, srry to say. or is it just me?

Fair enough. Other people have mentioned that too, so I'll try to speed up the pacing a bit to keep the game interesting.

okay... but not too fast, just nice

The 4 saws are WAY overpowered, and getting experience points takes WAY too long after the first few levels. Good game, but needs some balancing, which can be tough.

Thanks for the feedback. Both of those things definitely need some adjustment.
There's going to be an update this weekend. I should be able to tweak them before then.

I like it.
I think you have created a good store system that functions well.
Even though I know its not finished, I have two suggestions:
Maybe have a visual representation of both enemy health (even something simple like a square inside them with a color tween, and a way to let the player know that they can't move all the way to the right (got me the first time 
I unfortunately got an error "The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller." at line 951 in GameScript.as

Do you have any idea what triggered the error? I haven't been able to recreate it.
As for the right side of the screen, I'll put some kind of visible wall or border there. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm not sure what caused it but the easiest way to prevent it is adding an if statement:
if( theParent.contains(theChild)) {theParent.removeChild(theChild);}
