It took me some time to understand how it worked, I think you should let more time to try the mechanisms in the first level. It was a bit hard too, I only went to grade 2.

I mean, I liked it - the game was getting a bit boring at this point - but still?\r\rAlso, at higher grades, the strategy becomes very simple: just spam weapons in every direction, occasionally switching from one to another. Due to high target density, there is no need to aid any longer :) It would be more challenging, if you were penalised, say, for hitting an innocent pupil or if there were some other constraints. But that would lower the frantic pace of the game, so maybe there is no need for that.\r\rMy mouse hand DOES NOT thank you for this little game."},{"author_name":"Grahhhhh","author_uid":"51802","time":"Aug 31, 2015 @ 8:43pm","epoch":1441053480,"text":"Very cute game, was a little confused at first, and thought the controls would be wonky but ended up working ok!
