Very interesting idea, but something seems to be off with the email signup - it reports "Error: SMTP Error: Data not accepted. Mail could not be sent." for two addresses I tried, one of them @gmail.com. However when I try to sign up a second time a minute later with the same address, it reports "Email address is already on the list".
I've gotten to the end of the level. Then I remembered that in the top corner of the Maze is another treasure chest. I go back there to the !! marks and type b but cannot enter that area. The message reads "Remember: these are not words"... so how do I get in there? Can that part of the game not be solved? I've tried Shift-B, ^ etc. Is anyone else able to get into there?
Its only one word... fucking.. so what you need to do is press E from the F

vi, which vim is based on, was programmed on the ADM-3A terminal, where the arrow keys are on the H, J, K, and L keys. http://www.catonmat.net/images/why-vim-uses-hjkl/lsi-adm-3a.... http://www.catonmat.net/images/why-vim-uses-hjkl/adm-3a-hjkl...
Ah. So it's a sort of Big Software Syndrome type thing -- "we could do it in a more intuitive way for new people, but it would break all of these existing programmers who learned it the less intuitive way, so let's leave it the original way" -- or am I missing something?
Aside from that, it was not immediately obvious what W and B did, though a few seconds of playing around and it made sense. (That is about how far I got before it died the second time)

The last word of your comment made me respond.. That'd be considered 'wrong' or missing out. Which the game tries to correct. Supposedly later levels will teach you about vim 'words' and you'll combine hjkl with lots of other commands. You cannot do that the way you use the software. How's that 'lame'? And what kind of an attitude is this if you click on a game that is supposed to teach you about vim and complain tha…
"Cursor keys are not the way to move around in VIM" That's why it's lame. You most certainly CAN. I don't care that other functions combine with hjkl in vim. They're useful but using hjkl for left/right/up/down is annoying and the restriction in this "tutorial" makes it that much worse.

Congratulations to that very nice and useful game! I loved to play around with the first 2 levels. It's a pity that the project's state is totally unclear (at least to me, a casual visitor). Is it meant to become a community project? Is it a demo of something that will be sold in the future? The explaining text behind the "Unlock Levels" button adds even more confusion: > Additional levels are currently being develop…
It keeps crashing Firefox. I am sort of wondering what in the world it is doing to manage to kill both Firefox and Chrome! Aside from that, it was not immediately obvious what W and B did, though a few seconds of playing around and it made sense. (That is about how far I got before it died the second time)
