feel kind of bad as I didn't give version 1 as much feed back as I
maybe feel I should have other than the generic looks nice, plays
nice, well done kind of thing. I'll keep it short anyway, I'll say my
favourite thing about the first version was (and I'm sure it stands
for this version too) it's harder than it looks. It's got that
polished sort of this game is gonna be easy look to it. However this
is not the case, and I admire the way the graphical deception comes
into play. It gives the impression that it will be an hour or so and
you'll have finished, but this obviously is not the case. It becomes
apparent after you've had a few goes and not finished it. I did get
caught by a few of the above mentioned things but it didn't stop me
enjoying the game itself, with them fixed I can finish it. All in all
the design is clever, and I still say I love the use of trampolines
in the living quarters area of the ship it's special stuff and
actually gives a genuine feeling of fun. Almost reminds me of jumping
on my mothers bed when I was younger, it was only fun because I
wasn't supposed to do it though.

Oh No!!! I was gonna use Moonlight Shadow for "The Boy Who Destroyed
the World" the 3rd part of "The Dark Quadrology". It's going to
feature a graveyard section that I thought this tune would go with
perfectly. Oh well great minds think alike I guess!
That tune is one of my fave tunes for the simple fact it's one of the
first tunes I consciously remember from when I was younger. I think I
was about 2 or 3 when it came out. Same story with "Every move you
make or I'll be watching you (or whatever it's called)" by "The
Police". Either way I'll look forward to your new game. I suppose it
doesn't really matter if I do use that tune it'll be a long time now
before I even start that game I have to finish the 1st part yet. I'm
sure if I did use the tune you wouldn't mind, I've just gotta work
out how to make a .TUN of it. I hope if I do still decide to use that
tune for the game you don't mind. If you do I won't, but I'm hoping
you don't or won't. Erm I'm confused now?
