I loved the transition, and the artwork in general. I'm sure it took time to create those unique customization options for the character, and I think it gave your game a unique charm that other games didn't have.
I liked the house burning mechanic, and how you could lead the villagers towards their own houses, destroying refuge.
The gameplay was tough, I couldn't figure out what some of the power-ups were doing, or really how to play the game very quickly, but it is a good interpretation of the theme.
