Review + download

Great Find! Even though the game is ripe with gameplay flaws, it's a refreshing hybrid of genres

I would like to say to you guys that the creator of the game commited suicide earlier this year.

It is already mentioned in his profile, but yeah that really sucks.

Oh crap. I just figured out who shawn64 was. He was the maker of jet  rampage series. Oh god..

[DeathDude]

Yeah really unfortunate made some really nice games, had the potential for even better ones, but least his memory will live on through his creations.

Well, strictly speaking, his profile just mentions he "passed away". But then again, I suppose it isn't really all that important how he died...

[DeathDude]

Not really, but still is sad, this was the last game he worked on before he passed away. Really is a superb game with all the elements going on, going to be checking out some of his other works, there were some that definitely were just as good.

[Tom Henrik]

I think that saying that he passed away, is more polite than going into details.

But this is, sad to say, getting a bit off course. There's not much talk about the game. I think that he would've appreciated discussions about his creations more than how he passed away, personally.

The direct download from AR is corrupted (at least for me)

[E-Magination]

The exact reason why he died is never revealed to public.

Strange. Have you tried downloading it again?

[DeathDude]

Just checked the archive, yeah not working, we'll get it fixed up and changed when we can.

I downloaded it three times (sorry for the bandwidth usage!) and none of those times did it work, it worked perfectly when I downloaded it from the game's site.

Maybe it should be the original .exe that's up for download rather than a .zip (it's not much larger and since only VIPs can download it this wouldn't be too much of a problem, no?).

[Tom Henrik]

It is probably something on my end, as I uploaded that archive. It could be that the upload stopped in the middle of transfer, and I thought it had finished. I'll see if I can fix it - but as I don't have VIP connection at the moment (some bug that is running around), I can't check the quality of the archive.
