Hey Barry723... If you don't know what a red herring is (look it up!) then seriously, you deserve the frustration. Actually, I'll just tell you right out- A Red Herring, by definition, is anything that diverts attention from a topic or line of inquiry- In otherwords, a false clue. It's a very famous literary device that has been used since its origination in 1807, from Sherlock Holmes novels to others, primarily in the suspence and thriller genres, and has also since been transferred to visual media- The "innocent cast in a guilty light" is a rather infamous example used almost everywhere.

well that alien marking stuff was over my head and I had to use walkthrough. Though I love the writing and style. Everything is pretty good. it gets 5/7 from me.

Too many actions are too difficult to predict or make no sense. We are not informed that the thing in the drain floats, nor that the drain is blocked. Steel bar + buddha = crowbar makes zero sense. "Off/on" could equally have meant "open/close". Fuel Cell does NOT sounds like an Electric Cell that can be charged with a transformer. etc. All these issues make the game more trial and error than actual reasoning. Other than that the game is great.

a little hint: you will have to use every combination of codes in the right and middle room when you reach the alien base and it's not always a 3-sign comb ;) awesome game!

n-reverse h-reverse r-m-m-c-t-T turns off electricity and n-reverse h-reverse r-m-m-c-t-_ turns on it but what turns off the generator??

I think the wrench and the doll were taken by the last known player and not returned... i can't collect anything from the cargo boxes (unless i need to find those somewhere else too? Not the right side of the partially opened doors?)

For the code, left room in the crater area goes to a star map. Find our solar system, and you get the code on top left.

I agree with the others the 3D animated flash intro an outtro are friken amazing 3D. At first I thought I was going to have to take over the astronaut because I seen the red cross hairs in the center of the screen, but I was disappointed, bummer that would have imo made this game levels above all the other flash games I have already played on Kong!

The beauty of this game doesn't lie in the visuals, but in the games ability to tell a story and make people want to know what happens next in such a short amount of time.
Not to mention the amazing complexity in the puzzles, I personally have played hundreds of puzzle games and still had to look at the walk through.

based purely on the pre rendered stuff, this is possibly the ONLY flash game that could not have been made for a SNES.

Great game. The only things I'd suggest need improving are that the use for the Buddha statue makes absolutely no sense (even in retrospect) and that there should be more of an indication that there are multiple stages involved in turning off the gravity well - I charged my fuel cell and had no idea why I still couldn't leave. Other than that, 5/5, one of the best games on this site.
