Its like being hurled into the future on a starship and you see all these buttons flashing WARNING and you have no idea what to do oh god!! Fun game."},{"author_name":"stevejohnson","author_uid":"3120","time":"Dec 20, 2010 @ 5:53pm","epoch":1292867280,"text":"This is the most confusing thing I have seen in a while.

Fun?  Not for me, but it was a nice idea.  I like your use of audio!  The polish and audio alone kicked my game's butt."},{"author_name":"Endurion","author_uid":"103","time":"Dec 21, 2010 @ 10:44am","epoch":1292927940,"text":"Good idea making discovery of what the buttons do the game ;)\r<br\/>Still quite confusing, but here it's quite good. I'm not sure what happens when you &quot;win&quot;.

Everyone loves pushing buttons and seeing what happens, no?\r\nI used Haxe, SWFMIll, the GIMP, SFXR and Yoshimi (synth).
