I had a quick crack at this on a couple of emulators and was about to post a
reply about the random pixels until I got the message. A few other things I
noticed however; In the Cold Room, the penguins do a weird dance thing when
they move right.. and entering the Abandoned Uranium Workings has a 50/50
chance of instant death, sometimes kicking off the infinite death routine. I
know this is a beta and such things need to be ironed out. Just thought I'd
be the first to offer a playtest report. Looks promising.
