Comments

Analyses
  • "In this game, the player loses each time: he does nothing but reinforce by its actions the recourse to violence.
    It is by this means that Gonzalo Frasca incites a political reflection."
  • "This game is a toy, as it lack any explicits goals. Hence, your only "mean" is to shoot, without any kind of judgement from the game."
  • "GREAT!!"
