Deserves an award for the pun! :D Nice little sequential puzzler, very enjoyable. :)

Nice job, took me a few minutes to figure out what was happening but I got there.

Great name! This does not strike me as a game that would get the Nintendo seal of approval due to the "Hitler" in the name. Maybe a Tengen game? :)

Funny game, the jump in difficulty from level one to 2 was a lot. Good job though!

Quite weird at first, but after that it all makes sense and gives a good puzzle. The look and animation are very nice.

Thank you all for the nice comments so far :)

If anyone needs a little help solving the levels - here is a short walkthrough:

The game is only 6 levels long so you might want to try and beat it yourself befor watching.

Have fun! :)

Cool game, I like the exploding guys :D Just trying to zoom in was weird and I couldn't read what the buzz key was but I found it here in the page. Difficult amps a lot after the first stage.

Fun little game! I've seen a lot of chain reaction style games before and a lot of laser/mirror style games where you have to line things up perfectly, but I can't think of any that combine the two mechanics.

Did a bee just flip me the bird?

Quite average performance at best. Exploding people? Bee shooting the sting from the head? This game doesn't make much sense, and Hitler is just so much unrelated.

Cool puzzle game. Took me a minute to figure out how it works, but afterwards it was great fun. The NES-cardridge picture definitely caught my eye in the games list, so well done marketing ;)

The levels are clever, but the premise of the game makes it hard to understand what to do at first.

For some reason, the Web Player is tiny on this one .. I don't know why but it's nearly unplayable as far as web goes. After I finally figured out what to do, I enjoyed it quite a bit though :)

Hi dqmhose! Thank you for your review! Could you tell us which browser you were using and which version? Thanks!

Funny idea, although it would have been nice if there was more humor throughout the game (play the other Hitler-based entry to see what I mean). Gameplay was fine, but not particularly interesting or innovative. Graphics looked ok, but I wish it was easier to tell which way the people were facing. Music and sound were ok too, but also not particularly notable.
