LD18 — Enemies as Weapons

Fun! I love that you've got a high score table, though I'm having problems getting into it - got to level 5 so far!
It also quits (crash?) when I die (downloaded windows version today).

Thanks for the comments everyone!
I guess I messed up a bit on the whole not telling people how to play.. here's a long-overdue explanation for anyone who reads this far:

How to play
----------------------
Move your good guys to grab & lift up baddies from *behind* - take not of which way the baddies are facing!
At the end of each turn any carried baddies will splatter *anything* within range - goodies, baddies, and baddy factories.

Note that when you're carrying a baddy around, your guy will use the baddy as a shield, and won't get hit by anything.
Your guys get a promotion star when they succesfully grab a baddy, increasing their HP and MP.

Tips
----------------------
Lure each baddy with one goody, then grab them from behind with another goody.
Sacrificing troops can be essential - your squad will get new recruits each level to make up a total of 4.
Promotion stars are crazily overpowered (as Alan said), so you might wanna try just leveling one guy up, rather than spreading them around.
