That's exactly what happened to me on "You are the villain" (LD 25 I think it was). I ended up making the game in about 6-ish hours of actually working (and it sucked). Anyways, the game is pretty cool, but it took me a while to realize that there is no end sequence. So I kept trying again to see if I was doing it wrong (maybe I am?). I even tried jumping over the edge of the world. Also, is the threat level supposed to stay at zero if you stand in the window?

Eying the officers at the door, I nod my head and walk by. Do they know why I'm here? It'll be hard to do my job if so.\rHalfway up the stairs, I hear voices. The target isn't alone. Peering over the edge, I see two more officers inside. I underestimated this VIP. Still, a job is a job, and this is more important than just one person. The future of our country is at stake.\rOpening the package, I assemble my weapon. One bullet. Of course. I guess all my talk of being the best hit the right ears. I peak over the ledge again only to find I wasn't the only one looking around.\rThe officers rushed me. Crap. As they start to pull me down the stairs, I get an arm free and take aim at my target. I pull the trigger just in time, as the officers overpower me and take me down. And I miss wide left.\rGuess it was the wrong ears that my words hit. Could have certainly used some more bullets...\r\rFor the simpleness of the setup here, the mood was fantastic. I liked the animation of putting the gun together, and having to act sneakily yet swiftly at the same time. Great job and I hope you feel better."},{"author_name":"rezoner","author_uid":"21594","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 12:23pm","epoch":1387369080,"text":"Linux please o\/"},{"author_name":"anvoz","author_uid":"30146","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 4:19pm","epoch":1387383240,"text":"Really love the gun assembly.

Once you assemble the gun everyone is going after you, even if you are hidding; so there's no point in doing it right away. You just collect the gun parts, go to the house where the target it, assemble it right in front of him and shoot as soon as it's ready.\r\rP.D.: Thanks for playing our game("The sidekicks") while streaming, I had to leave and couldn't watch it live :(\r\rI want to invite you to replay it(checking the tutorial and the settings menu).
