The whole point of the game is that if you shoot him, you can't undo your action, even if you afterwards learn that there was another option.
It
is possible to reset the game. I just did it. And let me tell you, other than the satisfaction you get from outsmarting the creator, it's not worth doing.
So don't ask me how to do it. I don't want to give any hints here. And I ask that everyone else who figures it out also keeps their mouth shut.
If you really want to do it, figure it out yourself, don't ask here. That way, at least that way you'll feel like an 1337 h4x0r when you do figure it out.
But if you really want to be told the solution to reset the game just so you can see
then you need to get your priorities straight.
It's not gonna change the fact that you shot some random cartoon dude on a pole (OMG U MONSTER)
