Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Overall very educational especially for new Linux users. Our only issue is that its riddled with typos.
Cool app but when stuck and unable to understand something such as blocking all incoming traffic. Constantly seeing not correct becomes frustrating and helps to quickly lose interest.
You can see the word start but after its pressed get the black screen.
Its a free game, without ads, so we dont want to sound harsh, but the ratings are a bit misleading. The game is bugged, likely because the application isnt updated, causing weird UI issues that lead to confusing UX. The content is good but the way you learn is mainly through the same few commands along with reading through text files which makes the experience mundane and repetitive. We do commend the author for his incentive though.
