Another Chance Review
By MT

Pros: some nice bits of music
Cons: quite boring gameplay. Some enemies or something trying to stop me would be nice. At times horrible gfx
OK.
gfx- The graphics in this are "Meh" quality. They're OK but definitely not great, but as game designers we know sometimes for the ungifted of us it is hard to make graphics nice. The graphics had some redeeming qualities, like the text boxes which appear when you collect something, they looked nice and you had good custom message boxes.
sound-
The music in the game is quite good, and slightly relaxing. I'm pretty sure one sound is resource-pack but it is only used once.
gameplay-
This is quite a different concept to the other comp04 games i've played. You collect materials to build stuff to save earth. Its too simple though. There are no enemies and the resources just float on the ground and you walk to them. Its too easy. The only challenge is doing this before your oxygen runs out. Once i "fell off the edge" and apparently died so couldn't you have done that so you just can't go off the side of the screen? Or at least tell me there was a way to die!
story- as i said it is a differnet concept of saving the earth so i gave this 3.
Interface- There were some nice drop down menus and some good information displayed. The HUD could be expanded with a click so that is always great. You should run your game through the GM converter so it plays on vista when someone downloads it, not everyone uses Instant Play.
Overall- Overall an OK effort but could have been MUCH better. Like flying around in your rocket or something to get resources, or meteor showers etc
