Good game so far, especially with the author taking such an active role in the comments section. One thing... The space battles could be made more interesting if they were a little more dynamic somehow.
Sorry, that sounds a little negative... I dont mean that this is a bad game, just that it's really good but NOT as much as zork, which is the epitome of interactive fiction. This game is better than zork 2 and 3, and I give this game 5/5.
Zork is better. Why? Because:
A) it has grues. Grues pwn snails of ANY size.
B) you don't have to type the whole action- you can say S instead of south, etc.
C) It's less of a pick your own adventure, because you can go back to a room.
Only B can be remedied, but it's still a good game.
Also, I want itachi's avatar.
