I like to know what the player loved more or less.
It's not easy to jump on a bed...I believe that everybody did that
when they were children, in this game, it's still possible!
For English native speaker, say me if the new translation in English
is better for you.
I think that with assistance, there will be soon other versions
translated into several languages...
I will speak soon about it.
Good Bye,
Hervé
