it'd be a lot cooler if it saved. maybe it does and I'm just dumb but with a game like this starting over every time simply because the game doesn't save isn't nearly as fun or encouraging as starting over because you've fallen or something.
You're not wrong, MooRooster, the game would be a lot more fun with save/load. The code is even in there, just not enabled. The reason for this is that the game is not supposed to be fun or encouraging. It's meant to be at least frustrating but hopefully enraging. That's why Pavel designed the map to have both escalating difficulty and penalty for failure. If you *really* want to save, you can run it in a virtual machine and take regular snapshots, but that wouldn't be Rage Chicken, just Chicken :)
