crazy how Star-Wars was inspired by Flash Gordon, and then the Flash Gordon 80's reboot tried to ride off the coattails of Star Wars. wild how these things occur
Absolutely stunning bit of work. Very classic Half-Life feel throughout, with the difficulty dialed up a few notches. Had some deaths at the hands of the slaves and marines, as well as sheer stupidity and ham handed handling during the platforming sections.
A nice use of puzzles and a lot of backtracking, but it's all labelled so clearly with the use of new enemies spawned in and in one case a friendly NPC showing up to help out.
In my opinion, it could have done with a little more in the way of storytelling. What was there was amusingly dark which is just the ticket in my book. However, some audio logs, or at least a living scientist or two to explain what exactly was going on in the facility wouldn't have gone amiss. Also, the state of the place in general was somewhat confusing. There was a lot of visible rock and offices and break areas looked somewhat makeshift, all crammed in together. However, I could not tell if this was due to a collapse or simply hasty construction.
Took me about 40 minutes to complete and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It's a really cool sound and there's some serious, serious talent on display. The song itself is maybe a touch too measured for my obviously subjective tastes, but I'd love to hear you guys live when you let your hair down a little more. Feel like I got a taste of it at around 4 minutes and it's definitely got me looking forward to the album.

For a second there I thought you were talking about PS/2.
