Hmmm dan, once you've created a profile, you should be able to just start the tutorial and play through the various mazes. I wouldn't get too excited though, last I checked, Aura only had the basic, intermediate and advanced tutorial courses, and there was no full version of the game availabel at all.
this was a shame, sinse what is there is rather promising of a very good game, ------ but obviously quite short.
sinse news on the website seemed to indicate that aura would be released as a full commercial game with hundreds of levels to play back in 2004, I sent the creator an E-mail politely asking what had happened to the game, ------ but got absolutely no reply whatsoever.
Now, I generally assume the game is dead, and should be put on the shelf with castele quest, Max shrapnel, flight commander, the void, and quite a few other rather sad happenings.
With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)
