Also the music fits well. For future updates, you could let the player stay with the amount of guards left. In other words, if a guard was knocked out a level before, you have one man less for the next round, which would increase the difficulty."},{"author_name":"Hypnohustla","author_uid":"20803","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 9:56am","epoch":1377597060,"text":"This was actually pretty good!
