It had character progression and foreshadowing and everything!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Two minor issues:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>1. I would have preferred keyboard controls, as some of the screens required precise movement.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>2. the installer.bat _does_ make changes to the system - it creates some start menu shortcuts, and I think I saw it making some other system changes but it scrolled past too quickly. However, I'm still very happy that you made it so easy for me to get the game running."},{"author_name":"thristhart","author_uid":"3164","time":"May 2, 2011 @ 10:54am","epoch":1304333340,"text":"Odd, it shouldn't create those shortcuts.

The level of challenge is nice, but the mouse-based controls are a bit frustrating, like localcoder already pointed out.
