I learned a good deal from this, I'll write a post-mortem tomorrow.

I encountered this bug when running the game on OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) and using the Jar Launcher. I'm guessing there might be a better program to use. I haven't used Macs in a while.

Never mind. Apparently, OS X doesn't include JRE. Forgot to install that.

It ran fairly slowly under Ubuntu 14.04 on my i5 laptop, too slow to really play it.

I liked the idea but feel it could have been executed a bit better. The game is fairly basic and it gets boring after a while, the graphics and sound are ok and fit their purpose but could have done with a bit of touching up

I just played it again on a older laptop running under windows. Works much better, I find the sounds hilarious.

Ran pretty slowly making it hard to figure out.

Sounds were pretty funny.

Cool that you allow players to create more content. Art could be more polished but it works. Good job!

The game started off running very, very slow. Then, after the first WAIT command it crashed trying to get a sound file. It seems to be a similar error to what happened in another Game entry on here: Saving Gray. It's complaining about not being able to get the sound file or open the line for playing audio. Maybe you can speak to the team who worked on Saving Gray to see how they solved their problem..

But, other than that, I liked that you included instructions for making your own maps and configuring the game. Looked pretty cool. Now if only the FPS wasn't terrible. :P

Crazy cool concept! I had a few difficulties understanding which icons meant *silence* or *noise*, as well as coming up with strategies, but it made me smile. Job complete. :)
