I loved the idea with desert thugs stealing gold, but 50 is may be not enough. Maybe they should have chance to steal gems as well? And probably money from your apple I'd account and credit card attached to it. Seems pretty fair.
And why the hell didnt your give some superpowers to blacksurges? Those cute tortoises deserve this! Let them disable your rain of fire too. Or just completely freeze the mouse, seems kinda fair. Keep up the good job.
