Eh, I don't like it too much. I'll put up a review later.

Well the graphics were good in some parts. The guy doesn't move his arms, which looks weird. The text used looks completely out of place. The gameplay was bad cause there wasn't really an objective and it got boring fast. Also when you entered a new sector (new screen) you stopped and had to repress the button which seems to be a design flaw. The game had no emotional value and to me at least, the story made no sense.

That has to do with Game Maker when switching rooms. Not his fault.

I played the whole game to end, it wasn't too bad for a game made with lite version. And the story was average i think...

Thank you all for the comments. I appreciate them.

I also want to say that this game won 3rd Place in GameCOG's Second Competition!

True but it can be fixed. Just change keyboard_check(vk_left/right) to keyboard_check_direct(vk_left/right). I had this problem before with 'seamless room transitions, ie you can tell when you've changed rooms and had to fix it because of that. I actually haven't played yet. May edit with review later but thats my contribution so far. Not broken any rules I hope?

Didn't see much I seem to hit a dead end wherever I go, must have missed something.

Try some rewriting for the intro texts it kind of falls flat. Otherwise fixing the keyboard_check will definitely give it a plus.
