The models and animations are very cool, loved the dancing and praying animation. Also, the music fits perfectly since the gameplay is pretty relaxed. At first, I wasn't sure about how much fun it would be, but it turned out pretty fun after all! The only downside is that it is hard to see where the bullets are going to be when they reach the platform. Got all 3's and played on for a bit but I guess there is no win-state?\n\nVery well done!\n\np.s.

At first I was scared because I believed that one shot would kill my people and played it overly careful. Then I realized that I could take a fair amount of damage. I think the difficulty might be a little easy for me but I think the ramping is fair to most people playing. You really designed the additional content and exposure well. Nice work!

I think it would be better if you gave the player a little more space, both to move around in and also to have more time to react to bullets.
