It's half-baked but you can at least see what I was trying to do. Click through the brain menu, only 1 of the 4 stages was complete so any that you choose will take you to that one. This was a great lesson in having a more reasonable scope for a 48-hour competition.

Go shoot some creepy faces! Enjoy! So sleeepy, going to pass out now.

Unfortunately, doesnt seem to work on my machine, spits out an error about a missing .dll file and crashes. Maybe you forgot to package a .dll? seems to be related to something called OIC, I'm running Windows XP, I'll rate it if you fix it.

Hey CplMustard, I'll run XP from VirtualBox and see what's missing, thanks for the heads up!

I really liked the mood in this game!

I don't know if the music is supposed to sound like that but it kind of worked given the theme.

The initial presentation was very good.

As a game it had its problems with control that felt a bit strange. I did't enjoy so much playing it but the presentation made an impression.

If you improve the control and add more models/graphics, it has potential for becoming a great game.

I get the same as CplMustard, sadly.

Yay, a fellow Ogre3d user! I used this for my entry, except mine was extremely primitive as I had little experience with it before =/ However I have missing dlls apparently

The music worked for this game, but gave me a headache... The controls are also somewhat weird, but maybe is because I am not that used to FPS. Once I've killed all the faces, I ended up in a big room with a black wall and I didn't know what to do after, so I closed. The graphics were well done.

I have to rate you poor on community: not only I had to download a ~100MiB ZIP file that had no top level directory, but then I had to download and install yet *another* toolkit just to have the Cg.dll file, something you should distribute with your game, I think.

Can't run under Windows XP, even with Cg installed. Too bad, this looked interesting :-/

The game download contains at least 50MB of assets that don't even belong to the game.

It worked for me, but I really didn't get the game, I shot every head, but then what? Didn't seem really intuitive at all.

I also get the dll problem, but I was wondering if it's ok to install the CG library from Nvidia, considering I use an ATI card?

the intro, lighting, and mood were all really impressive! just wish you could improve upon gameplay a bit more
