Even if this is just a game, the author should have tried harder here. If you expend all that effort, why not have more help than one line:

% Run this file

To the authors's credit, there is an info.txt file. The entire contents of that file are:

Run Urban_jungle.m to start the program

No place in the entire description does this say this is a two person game!

Suppose you chose to run the Olympic marathon. You were so fast that after 26 miles, you were 30 minutes ahead of the rest of the field. Then you stop and drop out of the race with one foot to go. Would they award you the medal anyway? (Somehow I think not.)
 
I tried to run Urban_jungle anyway. Click the buttons at random, put some random numbers into the edit boxes. After a while, and a few crashes for no good reason, something happened. It is quite slow. I tried quite seriously to make some viable choices for the numbers in the edit boxes, but I fell asleep several times during the testing.

Boring. Smells of mold.

Ok, I think John's comments are right. The author should have put more effort into documentation.
However, I enjoyed playing it. Not super exciting but it's a good way to unwind over lunch.

True, John is spot on with the comments. Although, it was fun in a boring sort of way.
