Lots of fun. I was hoping you\'d have an unfolding story! Especially after the cool start.

edge

Really great atmosphere and a very polished game. But the way it is now, it was somehow missing something in gameplay. Anyway it looked pretty promising, so I hope you keep working on it. :)

BTW: I had a bug once, while entering a room from the backdoor for the first time. The room kept dark I had to enter the room from the other side that I could see it.

matrin

Loved id.To bad the story wasn\'t more envolved. Probably the lack of time.

papper

There's grape juice everywhere!

Also, very nice game :)

destroysound

As I anticipated, this is totally sweet.

notch

Very nice build-up followed by a somewhat thin game. Loved the sound and music. Great fun!

Ok, this rocks! Alien Breed\'s alive :)
Very nice atmosphere you\'re building with the music. And nasty ending. I was preparing for a extreme fight.

julian

Wow! Amazing!

covenant

I think I have to stop looking at the games on Vista boxes... see if I get my XP machine running... This works fine, until the text "signs of a struggle are apar" and then crashes...
On Vista...

kutani

Pretty fun! Monsters managed to scare me a few times. Nicely done. Would like to see more done with it.

edwardoka

Tremendous. For a 48 hour game to have this much atmosphere is something else. Fantastic use of audio, and the way the aliems charge you scared me the first time.
Now I'm going to have to dig out an emulator and play Alien Breed!

drzool

Thank god there isn't more reloading time. Great! I'd like to see this game more developed

adamzap

Amazing

Wonderfully atmospheric music at the beginning

keeyai

Same as covenant - crashes on vista as it talks about signs of a struggle. No output, just CTD.

codexus

Awesome game. Fun to play and well polished. Gameplay gets a bit repetitive and great music too.

hamumu

yeah, vista failure here... Sure looked promising!

nilsf

Cool game, I liked the ending. I didn't like the music after level 3 or 4, but the ambient sound on the first levels was really nice.

wonderwhy-er

Well made game. Reminded me of GTA1 :) Also first entry where I like sounds :) Very well done :)

drpetter

Greatsome. Spooky, moody, rewarding and appropriately challenging. The eerily empty first few rooms add a lot.

deepflame

This is a very good game, especially given the time constraints. Great atmosphere setting, great controls and it was a very smooth experience.

LoneStranger

Really good for a 48 hour game. This is the kind of thing you'd pay $5 to download and play on the 360 or PS3. Add new enemies, maybe some puzzle elements and it's all there. Nice control scheme too. Oh, and..uh... Nice name. :)

morre

Super cool music!
Nice mood and graphical style.
There should be a way to skip ahead, to where the aliens first appear. Takes too long to "get started" the second time.
Is the level with lots of aliens the last one? There's no retry there anyway - perhaps I was out of continues?

Anyway, I love it. Reminds me a lot of Tapan Kaikki.

This is killer awesome. Definitely derivative, but I've seen worse games of this type that took a hell of a lot more than two days to make.
