Overall Rating: 5.0
  • 4Sound is nice. There are some ok graphics, but the mix of 2D and 3D sprites doesn't look too good. Gameplay is poor. It reminds me of the Allegro demo game. After playing for a while, a text box appeared at which point I could press space to cycle through three different messages. I have no idea why this text was suddenly being displayed, as I don't think I had died and they weren't game over messages anyway. I couldn't go back to the game, but pressing Escape got me to the menu.
  • 6A good start but still needs a lot of work as there isn't much content yet...
