The game appears to run, but there's no sound, and it gets to the title screen and doesn't accept user input.  It is updating and there's an FPS counter, but no matter how hard I slam the Spacebar it won't start.  Sucks too.  This game looked awesome.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I DO have log files for you if you want me to send them to you.  There's some sort of issue with the audio code, I believe, as most of the errors are coming from the IcedTea toolkit complaining about not being able to open the line for the pulseaudio connection.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>But yea...

To save it, you must locate the scattered orbs (one white one black), and return them to their receptacles, which will reunite the two halves of GrayWorld little bits at a time. You are fortunate enough to be able to move between the white and black half of the world, but you are slowly absorbed by the half you are in. If you become fully white or black, you will be stuck, unable to save GrayWorld.  The creatures of GrayWorld have also been split, and are hostile when in the world opposite their color.
