I was still able to run the game from the source in Unity.\n\nThis was very calming game. Even though you did not do the music, at least you chose a good tune. There could be some real potential with the idea. This game with actual animations etc. could have real potential.\n\nThe only major nitpick I have is that it was occasionally hard to hit the target I wanted to hit. I think this might have something to do with Windows but the bullet did not always go where I expected it to go.
