Well, here's my own review of the game, based on
about three quarters of an hour playing
it.
Looking at it initially, it looks like he knocked it out
in as long as I spent playing it. The layout is at
times horribly reminiscent of the game that came with
that German editor. It doesn't help that he can't work
the guardian table. Those are the bad points. The
good points then...
The game has some
impressive ideas. The Bottom Landing for instance is an
absolute bastard! I think someone's been playing a lot of
Andrew's games :)
As well as that, there's the chaotic
aspect of it. Whilst it looks very half done, I like
some of it for those chaotic properties. I think with
some reworking it could be a great game.
One
last thing. In "Not A Library" did you think you could
jump onto the blue books that finish off the right
wall? I did, and now I'm wondering if it was intended
to fool you, meant to be possible but he cocked up,
or just an accident.
