Hi there,

i think the developer should change the laughing sound and the message after a defeat to something more cheerful. just take a look how japaneese games encourage you to try again rather than to make fun of you because you lost the challenge.
I'd like to see some message: "Ohh, you lost... But try again! :-)"
And perhaps some people who make "ohhw"-like noises.
This would give the game a nicer touch and thus make it more enjoyable.

yes pretty bad I think too ... I removed the offending sound (HEAD and BRANCH).

Show some backbone. You think laughing people are bad? When you lose in Sim City, you're fired. Quake? You're dripping blood. I'd take mockery over that any day. ;-)
