However, your garden is full of obstacles, angry dogs and jealous neighbours, that try to steal your fireworks!\r\n\r\nCustomize your very own unique player and make him look like yourself!\r\n\r\nBetween every level you get the chance to equip yourself with new handy things, like sportshoes, a shotgun, or even buy professional fireworks.\r\n\r\nI hope you enjoy this game as much as I did creating it! ;)\r\n\r\nIt's all about tactics and speed!\r\nOver 20 levels and a secret!\r\n\r\nThanks for playing!
