Okay, I admit: the idea of a game written in shell scripts draws my attention before anything else.

Doesn't support "all" or "it". Doesn't support "save" or "undo". Thinks "x" means "quit". Uses a timed pause between some messages; the pause is much too long, especially the fifth time you try something.

Doesn't support any useful synonyms. Guess the verb, guess the preposition. This is not fun. I just died for the sixth time. Forget it.
