I'm a quiet person, and normally play with voice and music muted and sounds at about 25%. So I was really surprised when I loaded KDDL5 and the tutorial started shouting at me. The slider is still at minimum, and moving it has no effect; the voices (including Beethro at level 17 entrance) seem to be playing at max volume.

Also, the FlashDROD page still doesn't show this episode, and in fact claims it is scheduled for a 2014 release, which is amusing but bad PR.

Two more minor things affecting all episodes:
1. Shift+5 (numpad) only passes one round even when queens and mothers are present. This made level 16 more tedious than intended. Shift+I does work correctly, as does Shift+ other numpad keys.

2. The help file for DROD History says that GatEB is the most recent game.

Have you tried toggling numpad? The problem is that from Flash it's impossible to detect if numpad is on or off, so in some cases, on some keyboards, on some systems, it only works when it's toggled on or off, because then the game receives different keypresses.

As for the volume, as far as I remember the volume slide is logarithmic, so you only really get different voice volume at super low levels, but I might be thinking about another game. I'll take a look at it one of these days.

Okay, Shift+5 works when I turn numlock off, which is weird because that key normally doesn't do anything at all in that state. I wonder what happens with those new keyboards I've seen that don't have a numlock button.

What's weird is that I only hear voices in KDDL5; the earlier episodes I could mute without problems.
