Congrats on the release!  Having played it pre-release I know that it's a bit of a different game experience to your typical adventure game - though obviously has many elements of traditional adventure gaming in it - and I think it has a unique charm as a result.

This is out???

I have been looking at it in the dev thread and to be honest I thought it was one of those projects that looked too ambitious to every actually get released...

BUT NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

You mean you actually did it?

OMG I will sooooo be playing the shite out of this when I get a few parsecs of spare time!!!

Hi Slasher.

Congratulations on the release!

Like CaptainD I also played it pre-release and I think that it is a damn good game.

I am downloading now to play the complete version as at the time I only played one part, over and over again.
Looking forward to seeing what happens...
Will I ever get back home or be lost to the infinites of space forever?

Jay.

This is a smashing game with some well executed puzzles and sly humour.
It is a good length and Slasher's graphics get better with each game.
It was a pleasure to test this one!

[Cogliostro]

Downloaded the game and having a lot of fun with it. 

BUG:  I had the "Star Log" open when I clicked on the C-Panel and it locked the game up.

I was one of the folks lucky enough to get a link to this game before it was released - unfortunately due to time constraints and life commitments  I wasn't able to play very much. After completing the game I can now say that this project is a fairly well oiled machine. A very intricately oiled one at that. The game can seem quite patchy and started very complicating for me (too much going on, perhaps? A tutorial would have been cool), but if you look closely their is much skill in its execution. It's quite an ambitious project, but I can see it was so because Slasher wanted to prove something, evidently, with this one. At first glance you might not see it, but this game here has got a lot of pride and capability to be really quite enjoyable. I have to say well done.

Overall, an underplayed, quite funny AGS classic, potentially. Nice work. Worth a play!

I encountered a problem that necessitated starting from a save point and losing my session's progress:

Possibly spoiler:

Spoiler

I am on the jungle planet and I was told that I need to make a nasty sound. I thought "gee, the noise emitter from the space junk shop should help". I never purchased it before because I didn't want to purchase items I don't see a need for and run out of money (although I don't know if that's possible). I was unable to leave the planet because the game wanted me to finish my job there before leaving. Unless the player bought the noise emitter hoping that it would come in handy, you will be stuck at this point, unless I'm missing something, such as another way to make noise

Try the bamboo that should be there - that would be helpful

Hi Slasher

I gather from your response that there is more than one way to solve this and I wasn't really stuck. In which case I stand corrected. I'm enjoying the game and am close to completion.

Thanks and cheers
