My best score: 2 points.

Great graphics effects that make the game more challenging while also meaning something. Clever story that justifies looping as well as the gameplay.

Thank you for playing and giving feedback @Cowirrie! It's not easy getting two rescues in a row. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have a few ideas to improve the gameplay, including better management of overlapping sound and visual effects.
