Great game. The random encounters are hilarious.
Very fun to play. A bit of interactive adventure and a lot of comedy. I very much enjoyed the end. XD Excellent work!
Cool entry. =) Would have been nice if the decisions had more effect on the outcome, but I found myself sticking with it to the end.
Quite something different.
And some of the encounters were really fun. They had some nice references.
Cool concept, I love the encounters. :)
On one mission I recruited no fewer than 4 LRRRs. They all died.
On my next mission, my ship had been built on top of an ancient space burial ground. One which also seemed to travel with the ship, because wow, was that ship ever haunted. Actually ... now that I think of it ... there were more ghosts on that ship then crew. Oh my various space gods! *WE* WERE THE GHOSTS!
But also we died later.
Pretty funny, but I would've liked to see some more encounters that give you choices and less encounters that instantly kill you.
Nice entry.
ETC (from Creative Sectors):
It's like Orion Trail in Space, it took me a couple of tries to evade the cursed 'randomly encountered random encounter' that kills the space travel at a randomly chosen interval. Anyway I found it funny, but the lack of interaction wasn't countervailed by the jokes.
"You have randomly encountered random encounter!"
"-100 CREW!"
That's a pure win(Although, I instantly lost :( )!
Game over screen is great too :)
Space button is a cheat? :D
Top game for Humor :D
"You watched someone die of dysentry - you gained 1 supply". Amazing
