The AGS Panel is a team of AGS forum veterans who play all of the games here, and give them
ratings from one to five cups. The rating system is as follows:
Feel free to disagree with the panel's rating, and please don't be offended if you
think your game has been under-rated!
| 1 Cup | Not serious entertainment |
| 2 Cups | A reasonable game, worth a try |
| 3 Cups | A good game, worth playing |
| 4 Cups | A great game, well worth your time |
| 5 Cups | An outstanding, must-play game! |
If your game has been rated 1 cup, please don't be offended! It's common
for your first game release to get a 1-cup rating, due to the game having
a lack of polish and flair -- which is understandable, because you're just
getting started!
Please understand that the main purpose of the ratings is to help potential game players find high quality, bug-free games to play. You've probably learnt a lot about AGS as a result of making your first game -- so why not use that knowledge to start afresh, and do even better with your next game!

That's the new hub of the Underdogs. Fringer had a lot of trouble, but it looks like she's made a great comeback.

I must say i was a bit disappointed with this game.
While the graphics was quite well drawn i found the enviroments lifeless and the animations to be almost nonexistent. Dialouge was also pretty boring and colourless. Puzzles were a mixed bag. Some of them i liked but other were quite obscure and seemed to be throw into the game just for the sake of having puzzles.
overall, not a bad game but not that great either.

Hi, I'd really like to play this game, but I can't figure out how to navigate to it on underdogs. Please help!

I loved this game and would recommend it to anyone who loves adventure games!

Is there anywhere that I can download this game?

I really liked this game! The storyline is outstanding, the dialogues are very detailed. I liked the different endings and the fact that there is no typical happy-ending.
The graphics sometimes look strange and lifeless (a strange mix of raytraced rooms/objects and traditonal 2D-backgrounds) and the music got on my nerves after a while.
But the excellent story and puzzles make it one of the best AGS-games!

That easily one of the best adventure games I ever played! I really liked the plot with the scientific background, the sympathetic and credible characters, and also the graphics. It just all fits together.
Two thumbs up!

In my opinion, this is the best adventure game made with AGS! Everything was just great! Absolutely fabolous game!

The main things that stood out for me were the story and interface. This game is a good example of a nicely twisted story, a nice contrast to the typical find-the-treasure or defeat-the-bad-guy "plots." The interface was also well above standard with a simple left or right-click. As for the graphics, they good good, but I found the combination of photographs, 2d art, and 3d rendering rather annoying. Also, the endless elevator music was just... painful. Don't get me wrong, I love piano music, but after hearing the same "soothing" tune over and over I started feeling sick. I can see why these songs were chosen (after all, that's the kind of music played in the background of buildings) but for some inexplicable reason the music aggravated me.

Meh. Not that great. The graphics are mediocre at best, the plot is just confusing and makes no sense, and the dialogue is simply awful. Boring boring boring.

Fantastic game, with very little in it that made it anything less than an effort rivaling any pro game. Easily the best AGS full length game I've played to date. Kudos!

This is a great game. It has
a) interesting characters
b) great story
c) great graphics
The only "bad" thing about this game is that it makes you feel jealous and humble. ;-)
Or maybe making such a game is just a goal to aspire. ;-)
