It's a great concept, especially in a video game format. My only complaint is that it's not clear WHY the family suddenly trusts him. It could have been made better by adding a bit where the little girl is frightened of you, but you save her from a lone soldier, or wild animal of some sort.
You don't even need to kill any of the enemies. Just buy the fort early on and hide in it when the enemies come past, the repair the balloon whenever you can. Should have had the enemies stop at the entrance to the fort, or be able to destroy the fort.
It's not that I'm particularly insulted by it, I just don't want Kongregate to get it's tail sued off by someone who IS. You know how some people can be...
Nimdok, that's idiocy. I'll admit there is an amount of luck required, but that's true for all levels in the game. The timing and strategy in picking upgrades simply becomes that much more essential in the insane levels.
