again one game with the damn z key, which on german keyboard are the y. you have to spread your fingers to jump and shot
so -1 star makes 3 stars

This game is the enemy of your eyes. First it makes you play the first five or so screens totally blurred out, then it expands the size of a level to huge proportions that make everything in it too small to see comfortably, *then* it adds fake 'glitches' now and then that make you think your monitor is breaking, and on top of ALL that the last part of the game causes constant camera shaking. My eyes hurt. The really sad thing is, if it wasn't for these flaws it would have been a five star game for me. As it is, I'm putting it down as a three. One star off for each EYE that now feels like it is BLEEDING!

Storyline is nifty, but the graphics aren't anything to write home about and the controls are clumsy,unresponsive, and totally unsuitable to the unforgiving nature of the platforms provided. Not sure why it got to this level.

Could you change the jump button to up? It just seems necessecary since the arrow keys are for movement and it would be closer.

So.. it's kind of like Metroid, but the story doesn't seem to complete itself at the end. It doesn't explain what happened, just that it did. I thought it'd be more creepy if all those "upgrades" you were getting was you learning how to walk, see, talk, etc. as an infant under an abusive mother who treated you like nothing. You were an infant and were worthless since she had to take care of you entirely.

At the start, I thought this game was good. But then I realised, you cant kill these monsters, yet they follow you and kill you, and there's not much you can do about it...

When I was escaping right before the last screen, although I only had 15 seconds or so left, I had to stop and say... Ha

really funny... if you quit the game after collecting the core-damage-thing and press continue you will start directly in front of the core-damage-thing room and can walk without time :D

"this is kind of metroid"? is that what letters spelt? anyways, this game was awesome. and i escaped with 93% items and 43 secs time. do better!

I heard that there's an ending that you get stuck at camera 50 forever, iv'e exited with and without getting the power core and the same thing happens every time, what am I doing wrong? Do I have to get all the letters?

Tips: Do NOT get the object in the camera 42 room. Just work your way back to the top and exit. The ending is the same and you don't have to deal with the room shaking.
Don't waste your time getting the letter plates unless you care about getting a high score. They don't do anything.
Score = (100% completed x 100) - (time taken x 10(?)) - (times died x 100)

metroid ripoff without any originality or distinct flavor, boring bosses, boring achievements, boring everything. the authors haven't even bothered to dress it up with a different type of main character or even change the enemies... and don't give me this postmodern bullshit of copying the game as a concept, you just aren't talented enough to build something from scratch. if any reader thinks this is good (which isn't), play super metroid: it KICKS ASS and will show you how crappy this game is.
impossible to change quality of the game, another thing against the game.

I got the feeling this was going to be a really magnificent game as I was playing it, but to be perfectly honest, I found the end of the game to be kind of disappointing, in terms of the very end, the lack of any coherent culmination of the whole "pleasing mother" thread with the dark tidings, the message of the metal tiles, and what was written on the wall in the first room before the eyes were recovered. It's still a good game, but it could have been great if there had been a better payoff to all of the anticipation the game was building up.
