A good implementation of the theme, and cute simple art.

The game plays well, and I didn't run into any bugs. Could use a bit more player feedback. Some animation (simple flashing would already add a lot) when the mailbox is successfully hit, some pop-up when you manage to fill-up the box and such. If you felt particularly fancy, you could even add some obstacles - flying birds, grandmas on bikes etc. - and take away points for hitting those. But that's polish :grin:

- the forbidden boxes, which would have remove points if hit
- feedback : having some floating point above the box and sounds when you hit it. little flag on boxes should have rised up when box filled up
- overheat of the gun
Looks like we were on the right track !
