Gameplay
On earlier version, this game has very difficult control. But after tested by Robin, this game changes the genre to First Person Shooting by pressing right click. Unlike the earlier massive project (Escape From The Laboratories), this game is faster than ever, and max triangles is just about 100K (Escape From the Laboratories has 1,000,000 Triangles). This game uses Active Recusively Performance mode, that includes : On Became Invisible, On Became Visible, Far Camera Clipping, On Trigger Enabler.
This game only has 3 usable guns, and it’s Revolver, Rifle, Silenced Uzi. They use Text To Speech for character’s voice not original voice. Rico Phalanx voice also appeared on The Frig but pitched a bit.
Reception
This is their first paid game, and they are going to publish the full version to all indie game store. But unfortunately, Desura didn’t accept this game because this game has a bad quality. At first, they set the price to $2.99 but after many bad critique they lower the price to $1.49 and they thinking to lower it to $0.99.
The results from Official Beta Testers, this game was too monotone for a paid game. This game has no other mission except shooting all the enemies. The average ratings given by Official Beta Testers are 5/10. Junardy suggested to make it able to save a main gun in the pocket and then use a claw not drop it.
This game became a free game because this game lack of popularity. This game also lack of popularity even it has been set to free.
