DOWNLOAD
HERE
EBP.ZIP (approx. 2.5M; 5.4M after installation)
EASY INSTALL Experienced users can simply unzip the download file into a new folder, and run EBP.EXE.

An experienced Windows user can download + unzip + run + start-a-game in less than 15 seconds.

Or, for a more deliberate approach, see the detailed install instructions.

After installing, to run the program, click on the program's icon on your desktop, or find EBP in the Windows list of "All Programs". For other basic information, view the README.TXT file.

WINDOWS SMARTSCREEN If you see "Windows protected your PC" this is merely Microsoft telling you it's seeing EBP on your computer for the first time. This is normal for a download. Click "More Info" and "Run Anyway" to tell Windows you want to run the game.
DESKTOP ICON EBP icon If the program's icon does not appear on your Windows desktop, create one manually: right click on an empty area of your Desktop, and select New, Shortcut. When Windows prompts for the location of the item, enter the path to where you installed the program, such as C:\EBP\EBP.EXE
SIMPLE UNINSTALL Didn't care for the game? If you installed EBP into its own folder/subdirectory, such as C:\EBP, to uninstall simply delete that folder/subdirectory.
