Good work, it's a pretty fun game! I like that you introduce mechanics one at a time, and the writing is goofy as it should be :D
In later stages it got a bit chaotic for me and I didn't fully understand the thunder/witch gameplay, I might have to give it another try (I got the game to freeze after mashing a few buttons there :P).

shot can also mean a series of alcholic beverages served in succession. So I make a game you can shoot shots to moon to succeed in a moonshot!

on no sorry for the freeze :(
The thunder will destroy all humans in that column until it hits a witch with a shield. namely everyone under the witch(with a shield) would get destroyed. And the witch would lose his shield after a hit. I know it is chaotic for the last levels and witches are not strong enough to survive long from the meteors, so you probably need to have some human on top of the witch to protect him too... Hope this would help you if you plan to try it again :p Thanks for playing!
The controls themselves were nice, the uncontrollable feeling was more at at macro level: I did not have a feeling of being able to plan anything in advance or to be able to progress on a level (solve it faster, more efficiently),basically my strategy was always the same: try to have more and more people on the field until the moon can no longer deal with it. I think a bit more control could have been given by allowing the player to chose the type of people he wants to send on the field maybe.
I see.. I was planned to add another action for player, that they can click on the character in line and kick him out from the queue(or pick the character to move to the front of the queue). But I feel it might be too many work for player to do and I'm not sure if player will have the attention to take care of that.
Do you think this would make the game more controllable, or more hard to control? Or maybe I should add this and make the pace of the game slower?
Thanks for explaining this, this is very helpful.
