Welcome to utopia.
The year is 2174, and you have been ordered to function as an
orbital sniper. In your world there's just three kinds of people:
VIPs, dissidents and normal citizens. VIPs run the world: they must
not come to harm. Dissidents must die. If a commoner or two gets
wasted in progress, it'll count against you when your post ends.

You were a normal citizen only moments ago. If you manage to prove
yourself and keep VIPs safe in your area, they might make you
a VIP. Or do poorly enough and they might decide that you're the
enemy.

(This is a more or less direct port of my somewhat popular Ludum Dare 48h game design contest entry. Additional keyboard support has been added and the game is now playable with a single-button mouse).

Thank you for your descriptive and well-thought comments. They will be taken into consideration in further product development.

Can you be a dissident and snipe the VIP's?
Scooters are more fun than computers and only slightly more frustrating

I don't like the gun noises. Also, where am I sniping from? A blimp? Or what?

I have to say, that's absolutely bloody brilliant. Just kept me amused for an hour on an otherwise boring Friday afternoon. Good job!

It seems cool, but the right-drag sucks on a powerbook. Could you make it the = - keys?

You can (also) use A/Z and up/down keys to zoom, as well as mouse wheel or right mouse button, if available. Powerbook 'two-finger scroll' works as well.
