Wow, thank you! We made it to the top of your list, yay! We're very glad you enjoyed playing our game!
As for the persons stuck outside and not calming down, it is unfortunately a known issue. Refresh the webpage, reload the game and press the "continue" button on the main menu to reload the level :)
Do not pause via the button in the top right corner and press "main menu" as it deletes your save for... reasons :D
