Overall Rating: 8.0
  • 8Nice game. The music adds alot of atmosphere to the game. The only thing I didn't like was the jumping - to much control of the char in mid flight. I know its hard to get a good balance; you want some control, but not this much! Great work.
  • 8At 10% complete this game is short, but it has the potential to be quite good. It is very similar to Metroid (some of the powerups look familiar). I'll be keeping my eye on this one.
  • 8pretty neat platform game. very obvuiosly connected to metroid( which is good ). pretty good start, cant wait for it to be done.
