It was a great game. As said in the review, the puzzles were very logical and it all flowed very well. Excellent quality and length for a free game.

The only problem I had with it is that the story didn't feel..wrapped up.

Maybe I just didn't explore enough to find the story, but I didn't really see a lot of explanation for the planet itself. Why were the stone robot beings of the planet capturing spacecrafts and storing the creatures in their facility? Why were a majority of them standing dormant around the desert and in the crater and only does one become active after you've disabled the gravity well? Again, it's possible I just didn't find the explanation.

But yes, other than this, it was an extraordinary free adventure game.

Great game so far, but it's got me buggered how to open the smashed container.

It wasn't exactly intuitive, but I got that one with an old adventure game standard:

Combine items in your inventory until one of them changes.

Particularly items that have gotten you past containers in the past

Like that metal bar!

Use the Buddha statue on the metal bar.

Now I'm trying to figure out how to

The cable marking is only part of the code. You also need

I especially like the part where

Ugh.

Sorry, at first I liked it, but I never, ever let opening animations sway my feel of a game. Actually, the gameplay/puzzles was pretty good. However after just playing Sonny 2 on it's arrival to Kong, I couldn't stand the voice acting.

It should be law that you must play through Sonny before voice acting.

Great game! Needed a touch of help from the walkthrough they provided but aside from that all the puzzles were very simple and logical. Loved how you had to

Figure out the alien language to turn the energy/gravity on and off at the generator

If anyone actually DOES watch the in-game video walkthrough... you'll see my personal praise for the game, loud and clear.

Wow! That was so much fun and the graphics were great!

For the most part it was very intuitive, the only problems that really stood out for me were the

beer in the drain and the crowbar and Buddha.

I did use the in site "walk through" for those two. Don't use the walk through unless you want answers though.

I really liked the

colors as the on / off switches in the alien cabinets.

It took me a while to figure that one out!

If these guys and Mateuz Skutnik were to collaborate... I get chills thinking about it.

Reply

I seem to have gotten stuck.. towards the end where

you turn the generator back on to power the fuel cell, I enter the code and it only repeats, "I think everything is set up. I should try turning it back on now." Entering incorrect codes gives me the usual message.

Also, may I note that the statue + the pipe makes no sense?

Other than that, very well made, very atmospheric (right down to the scratches in your helmet).

Reply

There was some bug at the gorge. It kept repeating "Will do, Powell out" after the initial dialogue. I may have clicked on something that interrupted the dialogue and made the last part loop.
So far, the game's been great.

Wow, the voice work is really torturous to listen to. Okay, they are trying to make it sound like acting school, but the beats and repetitions are totally awkward. For the most part it sounds like they are reading from the page. I clicked the speech option right off. The protagonist has a nice sandy cigarettey voice, but the being-forced-to-read-for-this-dumb-game-my-cousin-made vibe bleeds through.

Reply

bluemoose, I had the same problem. I just saved the game and reloaded the page. After that I didn't have any other problems.

I agree the previous poster; the voice acting is pretty poor. The voices themselves are fine; it's the intonation. Words are accented oddly and many sentences end with rising intonation instead of falling intonation like in standard English. It makes some of the dialogue painful to listen to.

Overall this is a pretty impressive game. The captain on the radio was usually enough to guide me through the puzzles though there were a few odd item combinations and one puzzle near the end that I needed to hit the walkthrough for.

Reply

Great atmosphere, and for once the puzzles feel completely logical so far. Well, ignoring the use of the beer.

Right now I'm stuck at finding the breach in the medical room. I'm pretty sure I've looked everywhere. Can anyone give a hint?

Monty Zoomer May 6, 2009 8:04 AM

@silliee, I'm glad I'm not the only one stuck on that (no pun intended). Should I be pixel-hunting for interaction text somewhere, or what? Otherwise I'm enjoying this game, but I think I've gotten to the point where I'm done looking for the one item that even the in-game hints seem to consider obvious.

Very, very cool. I really enjoyed the opening and especially the ending movie. Very Firefly-esque camera work :)

Huh. I seem to have the same issue as Georgina, but Samalakar's solution doesn't help me. I've tried all the codes, backwards and forwards, to no avail. The radio is telling me to go do something new, which makes me think this is a bug.

About the console at the gravity generator:

An important thing to remember when trying to figure out the codes for the main generator is that..well..you're not just looking for a code. It's best if you don't look at the strange symbols as just codes but actually words in an alien language. Figuring out what each word means is important. Also, about the console for the main generator, this accepts commands. For example:

If you wanted to turn the lights off (this isn't in the game, just an example of how it works) you would input the symbols for "lights" and then the symbols for "off". Then when you hit the red button the lights should turn off.


I hope this helps just a little. Basically you're going to need to figure out three "words" for the main generator.

I hope this helps at least a little bit.

Reply
Gobsmacked May 6, 2009 2:02 PM

Well, that was certainly well put together, but about halfway through there were just too many leaps of inexplicable logic that there's no way you would have figured out without a walkthrough. Fail guys, sorry. If there are too many combinations to stumble upon the combination, and no possible way to guess (the Buddha, really? come on), you fail.

Problem:

I figured out how to make the long-range scanner, right? So it leads me out to the crater and I find the dead guy with the big thing on top of him and a bunch of heads down in the crater proper. Now I don't know where to go or what to do. So I check on the walkthrough, and it says to go back to the Armstrong. Problem - on most screens, it said, "Go to unknown desert" or something, but there's nothing here for me to click so I can get away from the giant heads! I'm stuck here, and according to the walkthrough, before I do anything else here at the crater, I'm supposed to get to the ship, so what do I do now?

I'm not sure if it changes in each game, but my code was "mmc" where each letter corresponds to a similar appearing symbol. The m's being the one horizontal line with three vertical lines stemming off the bottom and the c being the one with one vertical line two horizontal lines coming from the top and bottom.

Although the actual voice acting annoyed me a little, I actually really enjoyed the interactions between the characters. I liked the bantering feel of the main character talking to his captain. The artwork was lovely too, and the atmosphere suitably creepy. A bit of polish to the puzzling aspect wouldn't go amiss but other than that, this was a great game and a cheerful reminder of old-school adventure games.

Besides the problems figuring some stuff out (I relied on the walkthrough because I wanted to be done with the game and do other stuff), a far more engrossing and interesting game than I expected going into it (I mean, before the awesome intro video). Speaking of which, the intro and ending were pretty awesome. Too bad about the voice acting, though.

usually i don't like too much the games "click on this click on that" because i love solving logic puzzle not hunting for pixels that the majority of the games require. and this time i enjoy every second of this adventure (ok, ok the buddah thing...). The only thing i didn't appreciate was

the ending scene... no explanation. no fight with no one. and why the robot let us go? why they(it?) attack only the other crew?. it seems like a pilot episode for a series... is possible?

AMAZING game.
If this games gets a sequel I see a classic in the making.

I had to resort to the walkthrough at some point (with the off/on codes) but for the most part the Captain's comments helped me find the right thing to do.
As for the voices, I didn't find them particularly annoying... admittedly, the guy's voice (ours, let's say) was a bit monotone, but the captain's was ok.

5/5 from me.

One of the greatest flash quests I've ever seen. Intro and outro are very impressive and the game itself too.
The only nasty thing was those codes, i had used walkthrough to get the clue :)

SkfyS Day May 11, 2009 12:57 AM

A great game!

In so many point&click games, there is no logic or any connection whatsoever between a puzzle and its solution. This one is the exact opposite and is what a puzzle game should be. (It seemed a little weird that the alien language follows English grammar though.)

The graph is outstanding. And considering it runs in Flash, it is just amazing. Console game designers, especially those of "Crysis", should learn a thing or two from this game.

It has proved again that high quality does not necessarily demand a huge investment.

Look forward to the next game from the same team. Keep up the good work!

Help with the end of the game, please!

I can't get out of the generator room, even after trying the gun on the spooky head. I just keep getting "I'd better leave it alone." I have shut down the reactor, but the game doesn't seem to recognize this. Gun is charged. Using Firefox on a Mac; had some other weirdness in earlier scenes, but reloading the game always worked before.

Awesome game! This definitely beat the normal expectations of flash games. The graphics are top-knotch quality with perfect atmosphere!

Most of the time it just finding items and figure out how to use them though like the others, I found the alien puzzle to be intuitive. The items also scattered in make-sense places.

I'm at the part where you need to input the code from the solar system, but for whatever reason the symbols won't change color, or indicate that they've been selected. Is this an error, or a sign that I havn't finished something?

This one rocks. Great graphics, great story- and gameline, good voice acting.

Two things to be sad about - neither is the game's fault:
- my pc is down at the moment and i use a laptop with Win7 on it for which it's not strong enough so the game runs rather jaggy on it. Too bad #1.
- The only thing, I discovered with sorrow, the game bitterly lacks is a save feature. I'm about an hour into the game and now I have to leave :(

Anyway, I'll ba back, like Arnie, for sure. This game does deserve a new start when i have time.

I'm having a problem with step 133 of the walkthrough - when I try to enter "MMC FT" in the generator control panel, nothing happens, and Powell tells me that "maybe I should enter the right code".

@Will-use the charged energy cell with the rifle.THEN shoot it.

Quite interesting! I loved the setting, graphics and the voice acting wasn't bad.

The only things that really irritated me was combining items. Some combos were a bit ridiculous or hard to figure out on your own. Also making the crystal appear was a big pain in the butt. I felt like ripping out my hair. o_o

TO MAKE THE CRYSTAL APPEAR (I THINK):

It says to enter the code for gravity

Sideways C, backwards n, sideways L, sideways F, T.

, press the red button. Then enter the code to turn off the machine I think.

m, m, c, sideways F, T.

Besides that, it was a pretty interesting game! I love that you could radio for help. That way I didn't get too lost or miss items. xD;

I did have to refer to the walkthrough around the middle of the game. It's hard, but still quite interesting.

How do you open the hibernation chamber?

Reply

To open the chamber:

Make sure that you've restored at least basic power in Engineering, then turn on the computer in the cockpit, I think. The medical bay's screen should be active, which will let you open the dead guy's chamber.

Also, for those who are having trouble with getting the crystal:

Check the storage pods again, and look where the goo is. There should be a device to inspect that looks similar to the gravity generator in the main room. It is marked with a code which probably means 'gravity generator' (the other, mmc, is probably 'power generator'). Use that code (n, reverse-h, Gamma) with the 'off' code on the pods to disengage the gravity generator and not just the power generator. This will lower the crystal so you can blow it up with the rifle you should have charged with the power cell.

The nanoglue gun applicator tip is between the cabinets in the engineering room.

If anyone's still playing this game, I found the version at Armor Games to be less buggy than the Bubblebox site that the review links to. As in, the Bubblebox one crashed for me twice in a row with Flash errors (after I updated to the latest version), but the Armor Games one had no issues at all. Also, it was worth playing. :)

I really enjoyed this game,I stumbled on it after a game on bubblebox didn't work and fell in love with it as soon as the sequence started.

The music was fantastic and the commentary was hilarious.

And the stone head in the specimen room scared me to death, I thought I'd miss clicked something and was going to die and I spazzed and ran out of the room back to the crater.

Great game!!! I could see the series being where: they are about to crash coming back to earth because they forgot a piece...you remember seeing the piece on the Armstrong. when you get back the aliens are active and aggressive, so you have to fight them. that *might* be a sequel! lol!

the buddha statue and steel bar DOES make sense...think about it. If you hit a heavy item on a steel bar you WILL break/bend it. It naturally ends up shaped like a crowbar.

the beer down the drain makes sense too, if you put beer or other liquid down a drain the items in the drain will float up (if they have a density less than 1)

This game is great! Cool graphics and script! Reminds me of the characters in a crisis in the 1980's Enemy Mine movie. I hope there's a sequel to this game. An interesting idea I have for a sequel is the 'robotic heads' track the trail of the Morning Star to its home planet and plan an invasion or the Morning Star explorers discover the creators of these "robotic rock heads".

UPDATE NOW ONLINE: I spoke with the developer, Andras, at Red Herring Labs and he said the sponsor (who had been hosting the movies and voice narratives) had recently removed them.

There is a more in-depth version with slightly better graphics and some different voice acting on Steam for $10. I hear it's not really worth the price for the upgrade, but if you want to give the guys some money for their work, there's your opportunity.

Also, I think Jayisgames may be the last place you can get the game with the old voice acting, so try not to let anyone know. They ripped it out of kongregate and newgrounds - presumably to make people buy the updated version - and I can only assume they'll try to do the same here if anyone finds out. The government is out to get us guys.
