Wow. This is absolutely genius. You want to be more productive with vim, but this is generally due to the fact that you have little time as it is. Learning vim hasn't always been in the best interests of my current task. Then there is this game. Brilliant.
Nice! I got bored before I finished the first level, but not before I was trying to use stuff like ^,$ and ctrl+f, ctrl+b, 5l to get to the end of the tunnels faster and those didn't work. Is more advanced editing unlocked in later levels? or is this just for getting off the arrow keys? I can imagine some cool things in a more advanced vim game like * for teleporting between words, mm to drop a bookmark, :badd to get…
I really like this, and if the price isn't too bad I'll pay to keep going as I've learn't more from this than when I've sat down to try to 'learn to do VIM'. I guess there's only so much you can cover in this sort of game format (I'm doubting there will be a .vimrc level), but if it goes far enough to teach me to take all the lag out of navigating and editing, I'll be a happy bunny.
Chrome 19.0.1084.30 beta on OS X Lion is seeing nothing past the first screen for me. I hear sounds, but its a black box otherwise.

How close are the controls? I never noticed they were similar... maybe I should try to ascend again, as I'm terrible in VI
Movement in a lot of roguelikes is HJKL. Also it's very common for YUBN to make your character move diagonally.

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.
It's like cheating and looking at your hands when learning to type. You'll never really learn to type properly and it slows you down a lot. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and do it right. I wouldn't be able to hit 80 WPM if I had to stare at my hands.
After finishing the maze there is a roadblock at the bottom of the screen after talking to the girl who tells me about what happens if I step into water and there is no column above me... Is there a game beyond there?

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)
I managed to crash chrome once, but couldn't reproduce it. I'm an indie developer so I don't have enough people QAing the product yet :/ My first gut feeling is the audio, but didn't have a chance to prove it yet. It would be great if you'll be able to send me more info on when exactly it crashed to my mail doron ( at ) vim - adventures . com . Other than audio, I really don't do anything out of the ordinary - all ja…
