I afraid I didn't really understand what I was supposed to be doing...! Man, I feel bad about this - I liked the visuals and the monster design... and I seemed to be accumulating energy, but then the monster just would seem to come out of nowhere and kill me. =/ I can't really justify playing much more of it - but I did think it looked really solid. =)

This was a fun little game. The monster design was solid, and I found it pretty funny that the research facility is fully aware of it and does nothing, just warns you that there *may* be a demonic creature with blood-red eyes, just don't think about it too much. The first level was very slow, just waiting for the monster to give you a pattern so you could repair the boxes. I noticed a couple significant bugs in that section, though: when box 2 breaks it says box 1 is broken, and then doesn't change to fixed when you fix it, and more importantly, the progress doesn't restart after you die, so if you die with 75% you can start over and be almost done. I actually didn't mind that. I also liked the maze in chapter 3 and how the ending was getting teleported to another world and then just getting another better job.

It was fun to play!  It worked fine, and it was fun to try to escape the monster!  Finally, it cornered me in the left room where the "generator" was.  It was a little small map, and I really would like to play in a bigger, more options one.  Good work!

THX! Huh, it's cool when players get into interesting situations in the game!

I liked it, I got lost somewhat, and got caught every time by the monster

Thanks! Did you get lost on the first or second chapter?
