The interpretations of the plot are fun, but this is definitely an adaptation of the story of Orpheus, who tried to bring his deceased wife back from Hades. He was allowed to bring her back under one condition: he had to trust that she was following him and therefore could not look back to check if she was following him out of Hell. The tragedy is that he makes it so far that he can see the sun, but then can't help himself and looks back, only to see his love falling back into the shadows of Hades. Later in life, he gets his head torn off.
Basically, I love that you adapted the story of Orpheus into a video game, especially one with such a novel combination of action (part one) and puzzle (part two). Cool beans all the way.

Such an intricate flash. I love it! Love the song, too, though the undubbed "very" version is better :P Great animation, though; that's what's important here! Loved the character design and the style of the animation. Awesomeness.

Major props for the well-worded disclaimer at the beginning. I'm not Muslim, but I appreciate that someone out there is smart enough to make the joke, but still understand that it can be offensive. On that note, I did play as Muhammed and totally kicked ass. Fun little game with some great artwork. Hopefully someone out there takes the FLA and makes it a little more complex.

Eh, there's no -strategy- to it. You just keep pumping out units and building the strongest towers. It's a clicking game; not a thinking game. Fun for a short while, but nothing special. Cool art though.

It -is- strangely addicting. I think it's the awesome music; seriously, that's some good stuff right there. Great game!!

"Liked the first, love the second"
I really enjoy all of your games :D Bloons, Hotcorn, Bloons TD - all very fun.
My suggestion for this one isn't a save feature (the challenge is to make it through in one go, folks!) or more levels. Rather, it's hotkeys. I found myself trying to lay down a row of Road Spikes to stop a couple of Conga Lines Of Bloonish Doom on several occasions, and it would've been a whole lot easier if I just had to push a button to lay down the spikes, instead of clicking on the icon. Now, if there already are hotkeys - someone tell me what they are! :P
So far, I've gotten to level 50 on both Easy and Medium, and level 37 on Hard. Bravo on the upped difficulty! It makes it a real challenge :D

Nice animation. I really enjoyed it. The ghost's little speech made me laugh. Bravo! Hope you do well in the Halloween contest :D

lol. That actually sounds like the kind of story a little kid would tell. Skim over all the bad parts like they're nothing, until they get to the part that directly affected them the most. Nicely done. And yeah, you're going to hell.

The last review just has me baffled.
Anyways. I love the game; the only issue I have is the glitch with people showing up on floors and the blue indicator only flashing briefly, not showing you the number, and not staying on the screen. I dunno if anything can be done about that, but that's the only problem I have :) Good game!

I like it! Simple, but effective. It's a clean-cut game without any fancy graphics that only confuse and distract. Plus, it's a challenge! Usually, games are too easy or too hard. This was just perfect. I finished Hard Mode earlier today and I felt all accomplished like :P All games should make you feel that way. Great job! Only criticism was that it seemed a little hard to aim sometimes, but I got over it.
