rar file can't open

I loved the opening audio! Haha + to humour.

The concept is great, but you seem to have carried it out oddly - one bug I noticed was that I kept losing in the pre-war stage even though I had frillions of dollars left. It also captured keystrokes even when I didn't have the window focused. The strange sounds were enjoyable though.

The controls aren't working for me. I can move up and down but sometimes I lose the left and right ability. I don't don't seem to be able to build anything at all.

gadlor

yeah, i think the only thing that might be off is the money counter. otherwise it's pretty cool - innovative idea!

Endurion

Great idea. The control system could use a workover though.

Problem Machine

Brilliant sound design (I AM NOMINATING YOU FOR AN OSCAR) and a great premise, but it seems a tad buggy and the interface could be better.

Oddly enough, grabs keys even when doesn't have focus. =)

I couldn't place units, even after quitting and restarting. I liked the sounds enough to rate the non-gameplay related categories though.

Dangit, I get a runtime error when I try to load this. Probably not compatible with Win2k, I'll try it on a real machine later.

I survived for 14 years and I really enjoyed it :)
Without reading the manual, I couldn't really deduce the rules - I just kept building nutrition units to survive.

I really like the general idea, but usuability could be improved a lot: info on the buildings in game, mouse selection etc. I'm also sorry to say the sounds were painfully annoying.

Solid idea and awesome audio, but the controls ruin it for me. Switching between items is takes too much time.

The horizontal controls sometimes stop working and the game has to be restarted.

Digging empty cave is pretty pointless. Building stuff in the dirt should automatically charge me for cave and don't make me switch items.

Entar

Good idea for a game, but it's not really clear what does anything, or what you need to accomplish anything. Also, the window would suddenly close and restart sometimes, not sure why.

clumsy interface and I don't know why I keep loosing.
