Though a little hard to read the text, the story is quite funny. The music complements the game well and the graphics fit, like the alien itself drew them.

However, you should have paid a bit more attention to the font. The font's size + the color compared with the background color made the text very difficult to read. The music was also a bit repetitive. Maybe you should fade it out after a while?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Suggestion: have all items always displayed, or a scrollable selection.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks for the game!"},{"author_name":"Hazard","author_uid":"7512","time":"Dec 28, 2011 @ 11:19am","epoch":1325070840,"text":"Whoa, what a trip! :)"},{"author_name":"Stargoat","author_uid":"8618","time":"Jan 4, 2012 @ 2:47pm","epoch":1325688120,"text":"Couldn't get it to run on windows :\\."},{"author_name":"Chaoslab","author_uid":"5609","time":"Jan 5, 2012 @ 5:23am","epoch":1325740680,"text":"@Sargoat, The Game requires Java run, do you have Java installed?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@Caraha &amp; Yoman, Feed back noted and will improve the text.
