I liked the replayability with different audience members but not sure if there ever is an ending of some sort or perfect combination that unlocks and ending. Graphics are consistent in style and for what they are quite nice especially the characters - would of been good to perhaps have portraits for the crowd members as well I think. Overall an interesting spin on the theme.

The animations feel especially detailed and nice, it looks like you invested a lot of time here.
