That game is a labor of love by someone - I spent weeks playing it. So much fun solving puzzles and learning at the same time. If I had a criticism is that I'm not sure much has stuck with me. I still use the same 10-15 commands and all the obscure tricks it taught me are gone. Its worth the money just for the fun alone. Great to mess with on a laptop when you're on a plane.


the biggest problem is you buy the game for $25 and it only lasts 6 months, that seems a bit crap, doesn't really make sense to me to sell it as a limited time license, which is why I never bought it. But then I'm not exactly the target audience, I already know Vim, but I did enjoy the intro levels when I tried it a while back.


That's true but most people would pay that once or twice, which puts potentially small beans if it increases your productivity. Plus it's fun


I dunno, I don't buy things when I don't think the pricing is fair, regardless of whether I can afford it, as a gamer, $25 gets you a lot of good games that you keep forever. This one, you don't keep, to me it just doesn't feel right. I'm sure others feel differently, but, just putting it out there why I chose not to buy it where otherwise I would have.
