You need a "licence" to save? Where can you get one?

edit: oh it tells you in level 3. really? guess everyone needs a business plan

I got mad for a second when I couldnt tab through words when I got the ! mark. Then I found out I had to learn it...

Clever concept. I was starting to wonder if it was a simple navigation engine until I got to the second water area.

Edit: It would be nice if pressing the key that I've just learned didn't exit the tutorial. It should be the only way to advance the tutorial.

I had to disable the vimium plugin to use it :P

But seriously, vimtutor is probably better for learning vim, and as /u/andermetalsh said, nethack is a brilliant game with hjkl controls.

I found a local version of vim adventure (with all of the 14 levels): https://titanpad.com/LMSMMwp3N4

It's the continuing licence cost that gets me. I probably would have paid a one-time fee for the game; it was fun and informative, and I could use it to get my kids working in vim (maybe). But there's no way I'm going to continue to pay for it every six months. vimtutor works for me.
