I enjoyed the graphics and watching the little people fly away and scream!
My only nit pick is that its :flag_br: Samba paired with :taco:

However I think the game is a bit too slow and it's very hard to avoid bystanders.
I agree with @kwisarts in that it's a bit difficult to not kill any one.
Good job !
The big guy's art style seemed a bit different than the little guys, which was a tad jarring. The only real gameplay issue I noticed was when transitioning screens you don't know who may be immediately crushed underfoot when you start the next screen.
I liked how when you hit a gnome, the were just relocated. That kind of let you plan a path to moved gnomes into 'better' positions that didn't impede you as much. I also liked having to do a quick cost-benefit analysis for crowds to determine if I would net a tip if I went barging in to deliver a taco.
Obviously a taco cannon would be a more lucrative venture...
The character designs are pretty cute all around. Some nice details on the giant, with the protruding gut and everything.
