Nice between-level screen. Likey.

Fun. Took a while to figure out the keys though - and how to beat it! (Got there though :))

flgr

Nice. Needs a way to win and more Star Trek characters, though!

Another nice thing would be more varied level design.

Very nice... I feel like doing a GBA game next time... eheheh... :) The problem with this game is that it's always the same thing... and the lack of sound also annoys a bit...

Jolle

I like it.

heh, nice game - wish i had a gba! cool gfx for the platform.. your a natural artist! ;-P

Enterprise almost always rules, but it's too easy. The real game puzzle is that you have to move the tribbles out of the round head and then it's piece of cake. Add some walls to the rooms!

Quite average, can become nice game if you add some more gameplay features.

Fun game. The GBA factor added a lot of interest for me :)

Nice game, with sounds and music it would have been really complete. I like how the game has a 'world map' and even integrates it into gameplay.

I like it but it's really hard when I've arrived at the latest rooms :-)

A nifty little game! I really liked the map of the ship and the way the Tribbles had to be systematically cleaned out. It seemed very simple at first but there's strategy in there to be discovered. To me, that's the sign of a well-planned game: initial simplicity, long-term complexity.

[update: originally I complained about a bug. It turned out to be a problem with the very old version of VBA I was running, not a problem with the game.]

Really fun. I played for quite a while, and will play it again later :) I like how the infections also spread in the 'map' screen.

Impossible

Lots of sprites...

Tribbles!!!! ARGHGGHGH!!! Excellent

Yay for GBA ~ Neat game, maybe a bit simplistic but that's okay. I like how the infection takes place on two levels, in-game and on the map too :)

A neat game. Killing tribbles is a lot of fun! Unfortunately, it just ends up repetative. Map screen is awkward, and I think I saw some slowdown. Neat game, it could be enlarged into a commercial GB game.

Zaphos

Interesting concept, decent art (animation would have been nice), but the gameplay just isn't fun. Bogged down by some bugs as well.

bluescreen

Was it possible to win?.... Interesting idea, though

Nice game! Although fighting tribbles isn't very much impressive (it was getting automatic, but improving faster clearing strategies was nice), I've really enjoyed fight at ship level (it was challenging due to speed of spreading and the way rooms were connected in main ship part). Also game could have had more features (varied levels, weapons, powerups, etc ). Despite of this, I've played it till the end to finally get rid of those tribbles. Good job! :)
