The style is very striking and the gameplay I found quite addictive. I just HAD to beat it even if those last levels were quite hard. Europa was very tough but after about 10 tries or more I finally escaped. Really like the writing that takes places between the levels and the piano riffing on the Bowie song set such a good atmosphere. This is one of my favorites from this LD."},{"author_name":"leksapeksa","author_uid":"4358","time":"Aug 23, 2011 @ 8:23pm","epoch":1314130680,"text":"Yeah. Music, writing, graphics. Just like HybridMind said, they set such a good atmosphere. I bet even the President of All Humans would like this game."},{"author_name":"Hangedman","author_uid":"4368","time":"Aug 24, 2011 @ 7:48pm","epoch":1314214980,"text":"Neat little style, and a fun game, if a bit frustrating: one mistake usually cost you the level. Nevertheless, I liked the physics and the controls and graphics were good. Some visual feedback on when you can fire again after discharging an engine would be nice."},{"author_name":"Daniel X.

But the utter randomness at the later levels is very frustrating. I'll need a new keyboard after this LD. With a little polish, this could be a pretty awesome game."},{"author_name":"Tulrath","author_uid":"4703","time":"Sep 2, 2011 @ 4:14am","epoch":1314936540,"text":"I really played this game a lot - very fun.  Great music (I know that was Bowie, but you played it well), fun visuals, I liked the style too.  Trying to steer against the wind when you had no way of knowing how it was affecting the ship was frustrating.  I actually found that the most successful technique was just tapping the steering randomly and only occasionally making obvious corrections :D \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall, though, this was a really enjoyable game."},{"author_name":"SusanTheCat","author_uid":"5150","time":"Sep 3, 2011 @ 1:21am","epoch":1315012560,"text":"I really felt that the controls really had no effect on the rocket.
