Or add a timed mode or something. It would add pressure that would enhance the fun.

If you continue development you should find a way of easing the player into the game. Introduce the victim types one at a time and let players learn how to deal with them slowly instead of all at once."},{"author_name":"LucaPavone","author_uid":"8645","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 6:22am","epoch":1355725020,"text":"I had a go at this game blind, and I loved the idea even though I'm terrible at micromanagement.
