It’s pretty fun! I’m trying not to play too much while at work (hmmm…) but I’ve currently worked my way up from being penniless and just out of prison to being the captain of a pirate ship with a “haul of booty” (which, according to the save-game url, is 1005 gold coins, I guess).

  OK, I suck. I’ve found eight hundred ways to die.
  
  Also found an error.

My experience has been much different. I suppose being a talking cat has something to do with that.

  It’s fun but I’ve come nowhere near to a happy ending yet. Some areas seem to be determined death traps.

Thanks for this review of my game. I’m not currently adding to it,
but I’m working on another online game, as well as a collection of
fiction which is coming out in November. Some people might be interested
in following my blog: http://teleleli.blogspot.com
Yours,

James.
