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!

i really hope you got a prize for that game or can now work in a computergame creating factory - brilliant piece of work!

to my knowledge, a "real" red herring occurs the first time in the adventure game fgth in 1985 for the C64. "frankie goes to hollywood" being the name of a band, chosing it's name from a newspaper article about frank sinatra (a famous singer, just in case) ...

I'm not too proud to admit I had to use the walkthrough for certain parts. Notably, the saltpeter from the sand (that specific patch of sand), hitting the *control panel* with the rifle, and the *gravity* code needing to be entered...but I suppose it's an adventure game, obscure puzzles is how they roll!

Definitely needed to use the walkthrough and captain a bunch. I'm not clever enough for this kind of thing. Also, twice I felt that the connections were ones I would never make just because they were slight reaches. But other people seem to have gotten them, so I trust that it's just a problem for me and a few others. Excellently crafted game!

A lot of the time, character interactions are just "meh" to me, but I was laughing considerably this time. :D I was actually fairly invested, which is more than I can say for a decent percentage of games. NICE. :D Love the original take on the stone heads, too; creeped me right the **** out when the first one opened its eyes like that, holy sh*t. O.O Had to scratch my head for a good while, but that's why I like these games; they make you use yer grey matter! XD

I was kinda expecting something to do with the head-fighter-jet-...things in the end cutscene. A good idea would be to add in a minigame of dodging and/or shooting at them in while escaping the planet.

are you seriously putting in a dev easter egg. The red container in the cargo bay...YOU SERIOUSLY PUT IN A RED HERRING?! XD

For those having trouble with entering the star system symbols: Note that there are several different star systems to click (red circles) and they have different symbols. Find the one corresponding to our solar system.

Entering the codes with the symbols isn't working for me.... have tried them forwards, backwards... anyone else have this issue?

The art and overall production value are all on par with a Sierra title about 10 years ago, which is still immensely better than most free browser games today. The game plays well, which you would think would come naturally in a point and click game, but if Kong has taught me anything, it's to appreciate that a game is fully functional. If this game had come out 10-15 years ago as a PC game, and it were expanded upon (the game was quite short) I'm sure it would've been mentioned in the same breath as King's Quest or Myst as a great point and click adventure. Red Herring Studio, please keep making games, this was everything I could've wanted in a point & click game, and now I want more! The people demand it!

Uh.... could anyone take care of Johansen's body first? do you guys just let it lying around in the lobby? Jeez, you guys are awful.

I'd like to give the game 4, maybe even 5 stars if not annoying second half of the game... Some points are almost impossible to solve without not only hints, but walkthrough... 3 points for making crowbar with Budda... That was extremely idiotic... :(

Nice game! I was really frustrated with the coding part of the game, but with a few looks at some walkthroughs (yes, I kinda cheated), I was able to play the game furthermore. Awesome game, again! Keep it up!

If something does work hit it with a wrench if that doesn't work hit it with a shot from a plasma rifle if that doesn't work blow it up and if that doesn't work then then let's try to use reason (the perfect system)

Nice game, and the cg intro/outro were well made, I have to say! Perhaps the constant tension of thinking this was going to eventually turn out to be a horror game kept me going through most of this (though I'm quite glad it didn't, them faces creeped the hell out of me) Thanks for a great story! ^_^"
[one point though, update the alien galaxy map with cues that say "that's... our planet?" or something because it's quite tedious to just, randomly test out codes repeatedly and hope for the best]

It says "A firecracker ought to do" or something like that. Well I tried using the firecracker and it didn't work. Kind of frustrating, especially with the 4th of July just around the corner :/
