A top-down shooter game which uses music to generate levels.
Absolutely fantastic! HOWEVER progress is not auto-saved! Who the fuck makes a game where you can abandon everything you’ve played just by pressing a button too many times?!

I’m not sure how to describe this game. It’s an oldschool oldschool point-and-click game.
I think I would have liked this back in the day, but these days I find a bunch of the mechanics and gameplay too frustrating to deal with.

An offline version of Khan Academy.
A free lightweight solution providing high-quality education where you need it most.
Though this software is unofficial, it is known of and approved by the official website.
disliked – because it has no concept of building a larger topic of things to work on, and showing an easy path to progress through them. Needing to pick through a large number of topics, sub-topics and quizzes and then manually and repeatedly going back into that list is inexcusably frustrating.
Once installed it’s seen at 127.0.0.1:8008
