AWESOME GAME! If anyone is unsure about playing it and reading the comments in an unsettling confusion, no more! This game is the best point-and-click game I have ever played! Really the storyline stuff and all that just fit in perfectly and it was just a great overall experience. There was obviously a lot of time put into the making of this game and therefore I appreciate the fact that it's free, high quality, and memorable. 5/5 Perfect! :D

The whole end movie I kept expecting something to shoot them down or follow them. Or to come back to the ship to find the Captain dead.

Its a great game until you get to the chamber with all the alien writing. Those particular puzzles require a lot of intuition/guessing about the meaning of those symbols.

The three symbols on the generator power cord were too dark to read for me, but from other comments I deduce that they are "MMC" (bottom-right, bottom-right, bottom-middle). Useful if you want to turn the power off!

Was a great game until you find out you have to add the on/off code too the power and gravity codes even though you don't put them in for the pods. I get the idea of trying to be clever but it makes zero sense because the 3 digit code works the pods on/off

Seriously, dude, make a freaking sequel. Maybe you can explain what all the Easter Island heads were for in the first place.

"It's an endless desert. Why do spaceships always tend to crash-land on desert-planets? Why couldn't we crash land on a tropical beach planet?"

I have noticed that you don't use the red herring at all in the game. I have also noticed that the game was made by RedHerringLabs. Coincidence?

weird... it didnt load the ending movie for me. im so confused, what happened?! did they escape? or get shot down by evil stone heads?

I think this game covers almost all of the must be features (and more) for an epic point-and-click game. The author must have a lot of great resources to make such good movies, and the story was amazing.
I think the way you neglected to tell us (I think I speak for all) the meaning of the stone heads DEMANDS a sequel. May I sugest that different people land/crash for perhaps another or the same reason and discover the meanings.
Though I don't think I'm an expert point-and-click game critic I have never seen anything so well-made. 5/5 Keep up the good work!

I have a shovel, a screwdriver, and a steel rod. None of which apparently can be used to pry the lid off a cargo container.

Amazing game. I usually think point-and-click games are boring but this is a really great game. Cool intro/end movies. I also liked the creepyness of the mysterious stone heads (they keep staring at me O.O) Definitely needs a sequel, if not more. GREAT GAME! 5/5

The random red herring is literally a red herring! AKA a term for something that seems to be a relevant clue at the time, but then turns out to be completely insignificant.

Nice game, the code section towards the end was a bit tedious and some of the interactive objects are a bit to dark to recognize them well.

Really togh game, but the puzzles are solvable by logic and the graphics & sounds really contribute to the atmosphere. Did I mention the rendered sequences? Never seen such great animations in any free online game yet... Thumbs up!

I have never, EVER felt such a sense of suspense playing a point-&-click game.
I've also never played one so non-"cutesy" -- not that I object to cuteness, most of my favorite games are cartoony platformers! -- but this's the kind of game a guy can tell his FPS-fanatic friends he enjoyed without being called a wuss.
The intro & ending movies were, indeed, groundbreaking for a game of this type, on top of being impressive in any context.
The stone heads, and the way they spoiler spoiler spoiler, was an awesome touch, mysterious and, yes, totally eerie. I'm actually glad that Red Herring didn't try to explain everything about them in this game, since that would've taken away significantly from the suspense.
I would've enjoyed voices along with on-screen text, & more sound FX. That said, I MUCH prefer a game with no voicework over one with bad voicing (or if big audio files make the game run slower). Maybe in the sequel... There IS going to be a sequel, right?

What a pity about the end of Flash and the end of Kong. This was one of the best games, an easy 5 stars for Morning star. Goodbye.
