R2-D2 Translator - Star Wars Time Waster

As a protocol droid, C-3PO was the only character in Star Wars who ever really understood what poor R2-D2 was trying to say. But, with this neat little R2-D2 translator, you can speak R2's language, or at least get a good audio file of it. Put in any word, and it'll be translated into droid-speak for you to download as a ringtone-ready mp3 file. The most disappointing limitation is the 30 character limit on text. I mean, come on: you can't even put in "the Force is strong with this one!" However, if you have some audio editing software, you could certainly splice multiple Mp3s together to make one longer ringtone. If it's not edited exactly, no big deal. To be perfectly honest, only C-3PO is going to know what your R2 ringtone is really saying.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

I think it just translates every letter into a sound. Kind of lame, R2's language was much more refined than that.
