This game sucks in the following points:

1) as all of the reviewers said, "no space after punctuation" 2) in the boot camp you could jump and get stuck in the air

I CAN'T NAME ALL OF THE BUGS! TERRIBLE!

PS: The logo should be a little more rounded

Considering it was a recent game, I decided to download this game. I played through, and I found some flaws in the game. I will list them below. 1. No Storyline 2. Unlimited ammo engine by keep giving and taking ammo. This results in erratic bullet shooting and a lot of You need ammo messages. 3. As mentioned above, punctuation without spaces. 4. Gameplay was basically shoot and dodge, nothing innovative or original. 5. I looked into the other stuff passage. The blockage that lets you go to the next board didn't disappear. I had to ZAP to get past it. That's all if you are really bored, this game will entertain you for 5 minutes at the most. But I don't recommend this game.

Ok, ok. We all know pretty much EVERY PC/ZZT PORT IS STUPID. Set aside from the dizzy series. This one, is different.

The title screen was something that kinda looked like the q3 logo. I thought, "Hey. Maybe this won't be so bad after all!" Oh boy, was I wrong.

First of all, this author didn't put ANY SPACES after punctuation. That is something you all need to learn, kids. I mean,when you have something that looks like this, it gets kinda annoying!Get what I'm saying?Anyhow, let's move on.

The menu screen isn't really a menu at all, it's more like a choose a passage with labels. Ok, I picked arena.

Cool. There was a 'boot camp' level! I go into that passage first. There are some instuctions implanted DIRECTLY on the board itself, which basically say; Shoot the dummies. Dodge the bullets and hit the X. Climb the wall and kill the enemies. Touch the O. This seems simple enough. But then I looked at the board. It's another one of those "SIDESCROLLER EMULATION" boards, where they just put black walls above the player and made it in a 2-D mario aspect. BUNK. I blast through this boot camp mission, and when I touch the O, it says something along the lines of this: "ok,ok,i made this board for no reason,and it was dumb"

ENDGAME. Oh man, I got pissed. So I loaded up the game and this time, instead of going to boot camp, I went to "Palace". Some little green dude was running around randomly shooting bullets in a small arena. I killed him instantly. Every now and then, he would taunt me with sayins like "I own you boy" And "ohno,back to boot camp 4 me!" After I completely destroyed him, nothing happened. I remembered something on the menu screen about ?+Q, and when I did that, it says "You have left the arena!!!"

That's when I decided to take the biggest hook I could find, shove it in my left eye socket and impale myself with the rustiest nail I could find.
