This feels like a game I would've played on floppy disc at the library in 1988. I really like the concept. Other people have said they were confused, but I read your directions you posted below the 'run game' area and understood just fine :)
I found the combination of the music & sound effects to be a bit difficult to enjoy.
I think you have a very interesting idea here, that with some polish could be quite enjoyable. If you continue work on it, I look forward to seeing it.
