To the creator of this game, I loved playing it! It's sweet you wish to donate the profits to help the people in your country. It was fun with my buddies trying to figure out some of the puzzles, we all loved it. The ending was awesome! Took me a few times to beat it, I can't aim for s.hit while running around. :D Loved it!
