I occaisonally used to get that but I found that Re-downloading the game fixed it.

Yeah, I get that error sometimes too, but sometimes it works. I honestly have no idea how that could happen.

To the Master of Retro Indie Games, Cactus,
I just wanted to let you know that you're download link isn't working anymore. I tried to download Stench Mechanics from the link, but all it brought me to was to this image which I have taken and attached to this message.
You may need a new host for your download link. I'm confident that you'll know what to do.
By the way, I know that you've put a lot of great effort into your games, but you may need to accompany your old games with a Readme file, that way they'll know which keys your players can press instead of playing blind. How to play the games may be obvious to some, but for others, it involves difficult trial and error.
Because I am having trouble navigating the game again without knowledge of which keys to press, could you map out the controls for Stench Mechanics, please? The "use" key I remembered once finding by chance before, but I've already forgotten it, sadly. Even when I did find out which key it was, I had trouble knowing which key I needed to use for the rocket launcher when I was overdosed on pink gas. Your guidance would be much appreciated, Master Cactus

Okay, I've figured out the contols.
For those who are still kind of confused, the up arrow button is the "use" key, and "z" is for firing your laser canon (it turned out to be that instead of a rocket launcher. My mistake). You acquire the gun after smelling the gas, and when you talk to the mysterious figure amidst your hallucinations. The right and left arrow keys are for movement, evidently, but that's still important to know nonetheless.
I've seen two endings so far. I don't know if there is another, but I know that this game is awesome.
Cactus, it's like you combined Commodore 64 graphic, the sensibilities of Kraftwerk, the tone of Swedish avante garde cinema, existentialism and sci-fi horror into one game. Well, most of your games are like that, which is why I like them.

Again, I made a mistake. Sorry, Master Cactus. You do have a stable download section for your games in the Game section. Sorry I didn't find it before. Confusion over the interactivity of the site page. I had been paying more attention to the downloads on the forum page, so forgive me for jumping to conclusions. I still think that a number of the old games could use a readme file to accompany them. I applaud you for including one for Keyboard Drumset Fucking Werewolf, as well as I applaud you for designing that game as a surrel parody of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video games (in terms of graphics, art direction, and some gameplay aspect, while the rest is completely original). I'll get into that if a section for that game comes up in the forums.

Hello. This is Lamb/Marsmellow. I have been informed of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwHZFAfXiA0. Could you, please, explain where did I agree to use my music? At this moment you're requested to remove it as well as all related material.
