:Hello
Zushai
:off to play :)
Zushai
:oh well maybe not - the loading is taking forever
Gary
:out already
Hepmepleeze
:Game design is a little lacking here. Leaving players stuck flipping back and forth between two screens right off the bat -- hunting for the magic pixel -- tends to alienate, not engage.
Hepmepleeze
:Hmm,
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
seems the philistine approach works well to open certain doors.
Zushai
:I'm stuck and probably missing a very obvious pixel but so far I have
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
ID card (used) 2 discs (used and chucked on floor) a fan i cant stop and am just left with a lancet and the uniwrench

Can someone give me a gentle shove in the right direction please?
Chris
:well that was a pretty easy game that i have ever seen it really good game that you can think and comprehend
Hepmepleeze
:Done. Wow
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
She's one pissed off mutant cyborg thingy
Hepmepleeze
:Zushai:

find the metal pipe in the med lab to stop the fan
Zushai
:Hepmepleeze - ty very much knew it would be something simple i was missing

:I enjoyed this, but wish it was longer...hard to find some objects, but luckily you have the helpful changing cursor.
Crila
:That was surprisingly easy.
Mimi
:I fouhgt this woz a gud game
Myuhinny
:great game and I' out
Chacha
:No happy end... Next time I see an ugly woman floating in a tube, I won't wake her up...
Exfan
:Shit, and again the programmer has disallowed to zoom the play window. It' s too small for a bigger monitor. I don't know the reason. I have to say good bye to pastel games!!!!
Fairyhedgehog
:I liked the graphics and the set up.
I didn't like it that often when I clicked on a potential object I found myself going back or sideways. I ended up missing a couple of necessary tools because it was rather a pixel hunt. And I'd have preferred

a more upbeat ending

Blundht
:How do you get the
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
DNA sample? Guessing you have to use the lancer somewhere?
Superhappyjen
:I have a
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
lancet, uni-wrench, and lab glass</spoile> still in my inventory. I've used the
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
discs and inputted the code
What now?Superhappyjen
:I guess I'm where you are Blundht
Superhappyjen
:POP! For the DNA sample:
Use the

lancet on the lab glass
Anticon
:Ummm...why did I want to wake her up in the first place?
Jim
:got the hang of this one pretty quick. shame it's not longer.
ZepolANT
:I loved the graphics on this one. Nice little game.
Anthrax
:graphics are the only thing good about this one. seriously murtaugh, why do you label this things with your otherwise awesome pastel logo? except for the daymare games and submachine (which you havent even made a new one in ages!) these games are starting to suck.
i already ranted on another game but lets hope you see this one.
graphics 10/10
- awesome
story 3/10
-no backstory, no happy ending, no sense
gameplay 5/10
-pixel hunting crap, but at least it aint no 123bee.
overall 4/10
-amazing looking game, which is on par with any pastel game, but it feels half baked and utterly dissapointing. this game is extremely easy, except for the pixel hunting, which is a very cheap tactic to add difficulty to a game.
i love you murtaugh but i dont love this game.
Afspam
:huh, well I enjoyed it anyway. I don't know why people think it's a pixelhunt, I had no problem finding all objects and navigation was very simple.
Foob
:Uh...code?
Limbo
:Foob, check the
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
screens
Hornpolio
:I agree with Anthrax.
Real "fans" tell it like it is, no need to be a fanboy/girl just because it's a free game. They know we appreciate them.
IMO, not one of Murtaugh's best, because it's not that fun...and it is a bit of a pixel hunt for no reason.
Anthrax pretty much said the rest.
Limbo
:I'm inclined to agree with Anthrax and Hornpolio, but there is really only one object for which you have to hunt pixels. The gnomes, I think, contain a lot more of that. Not as elegant as Covert Front. Too messy.
Foob
:Thanks Limbo.
Paint
:@ Anthrax, Hornpolio He's actually about on schedule for Submachine. It certainly hasn't been "ages" since the last one. The Edge was September 2009, and The Root before that was Jan-Feb 2008. Daymare Town 2 was May 2008, and Covert Front 3 July 2009. (speaking of which, you're not a fan of Covert Front? D:)
Have some patience.
That said, I can see what you mean about the pixel-hunting here, but let me offer an alternative explanation, because I hardly had to to pixel hunt. It seems to me like, in Space Oddity especially, everything has the same sort of tone to it. Everything is kinda grayscale and nothing really sticks out (it's dark in space, what do you want?), so it's really not obvious what to click, whereas a game like Submachine, you might find a TOTALLY empty room, and a screwdriver on the ground. Pretty obvious what you need to do.
One thing I will say that bugs the shit out of me about this game and Space Oddity 1, the various screens are.. disjointed and it's not always obvious how you got from one screen to the next.
Wendy
:So let me make sure I am reading this right. Are all of you saying that the ending
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
with the cyborg kicking your butt is the correct ending? if so then why does it start over?
Paint
:Yes that's the correct ending. There's going to be one more Space Oddity after this one.
Whitegoose
:i thought it was a pretty good game. never had to pixel hunt for anything after i found my first object.
as for back story, if you watched the begining scenes rather than hit skip, you would have been reminded of alot of the scenes from space oddity 1.
i dont think its pastel's best game, but i dont think it's as bad as you guys are saying.
