What a nice wake-up surprise! ^_^ Just tested the game and it works great. The only remarkable "bug" is the place where the "game over" text appears. I suppose the best place would be under the "you" and "cpu" texts What will happen after game is over? A jingle will be played? A text will be display...

Please keep me up to date
