Thanks for reporting.

I see the same behaviour here on Ubuntu Oneiric, a black window with the text "patience..." which doesn't changes and needs to be killed to quit.

The game now works for me on Ubuntu 14.04, so I believe this issue can be closed. Version 0.9-6 of the package seems to have fixed it.

(When testing multiple releases, I ran into some odd issue where it would fail loading samples on 13.10 but that seems to have gone away too)
