Interesting concept, but I couldn't really find a way to strategize. Maybe I'm missing something (quite likely, even), but it just felt like a guessing game.

It didn't help that I had trouble telling whether the sandbag were upstage or downstage.

The gameplay is a neat concept and overall interesting, but it is not very intuitive. However, the graphics were nice. Having the curtain rise and fall was a nice detail.

Great concept! But a bit confusing to play >.< It took me a while to understand how to do things, and still some random sandbags dropped where I was xp
Still good job!

Like what Galan said. It felt more like guessing. The graphics are beautiful though, and the story was great. Good job!

I like the premise, but the interface could use some work, and the connection between my commands and the actual action seemed tenuous at best (why are sandbags raining all over the stage when only set one to drop?)

The lack of sound was a real killer, too, given the whole premise is about dropping things on people. ^_^;

I kinda felt like controlling some of it but most of it seemed rather random... a beautiful chaotic random. Loved the concept. Could use a better work on the graphics and It was kinda confusing about which bag would fall where.

I know you don't want rated on audio, but I think if you had more time it would have been a nice add on. Overall a solid entry!

It's a good idea for a game, but the directions on how the strategy works seem a bit unclear. Wasn't really sure how to actually play, though I knew what I could click on. Fits the theme really well.

Nice to see pygame being used!

Awesome idea, but the gameplay is so convoluted it is hard to tell what's going on and what you're supposed to do. I'd definitely love to see this expanded on though!

Neat game and the graphics were fun. I may just have had a hard time understanding how to play at first.

Nice idea, but I couldn't figure out how to play :/

Liked the idea of the play and stage, little characters were fun

Really nice graphics (from the set to the costumes on the actors), but the game play was confusing.

Wow this has an elaborate setup. That's very cool. I want to play, but there's no non-Windows version.

I thoroughly enjoyed the WordArt title screen. Interesting game!

Interesting idea although fairly simple

IT really felt more like guessing than any strategy, which was a bit frustrating. Great concept, though.

nice idea and excellent presentation but let down by a unintuitive gui and it all feels a bit random.
