It was made by one software dev, one artwork guy and one music guy. We only managed to put together 6 levels. Passing each requires a good strategy to pass turrets just at the right time.
KNOWN BUG: If someone get stuck on the road (which happens once in 10 times or so) just turn it off and on again. And hate me for a second. But then when anger is gone, it should work fine!
Game is a JAR file meaning it will run on any OS, but it is assumed you have Java installed on your machine, which is usually the case. So it will run by simple double click.
If you do not have java, you can download latest JRE from oracle website. Just google for JRE download for your OS.

A bug on level 2 prevents me to reach next level (a sister is stuck on the road).
By the way, in the comments to my game you've said that you had some strange bugs. Can you provide more information? When they happen? How?
Would be interesting to see if there are other tactics as well.
The graphics are great too! Congratulations!
On my first try one of the fanatics got stuck in the middle of the path. There was nothing in the way or anything everyone else passed him, but this guy was just jittering to an fro. So I couldn't finish the level.
So I restarted the game and I played to level 3 where the same thing happened. I already reached the goal so the towers were no longer firing. So again I couldn't finish the level because one guy was stuck.
But still I liked the game. It is quite polished and the art style is very nice (I especially like the intro screen). The music is a bit annoying with the "gospel" but it fits the game well. As the others have noted more depth wouldn't have hurt.
Good job overall.
Found your game through your PostMortem on reddit. You should link to it here too, it's an interesting read. I've never heard of Overlap2D but it has some nice features.
