There was supposed to be a Sound Setup editor included with the game,
but for some reason, it doesn't work :(
I will be resolving this problem by using MODs instead of WAVs in a
future update.. It also reduces dowload time ;)

I know the samples aren't perfect, but they were made speciffically
for the game.

Thanks, but I didn't actually write the music for the game :)

All you need is a demo version and you can edit the FPG files..
there's more information in the ReadMe for the editor.

The ZIP file was big enough as it was! :)
