A little game following an adventure of that famous Space Crusader, Bjorn McGomez as he infiltrates a Lobsterman base to obtain the data-screen with the information on the Lobsterman screen operation.

It's got action! Supplexing lobsters! Collectibles! Six endings (Death, Bad Ending, Good Ending, and three secret ones)!

And it's a Stealth-based Text Adventure.

Thanks! I actually started it late, but I managed to squeeze some time between classes to write up some room descriptions.

I spent way to much time on this =D Nice game!

Did you [!] the carpet on the stairs? Or the deactivated cleaning-pod?

Anyway, I'm glad you liked it; it's my first time doing Ludum Dare, and I wasn't too sure if the game I made was "fun".

I really enjoyed this game, but I never managed to complete it? +1 Kudos for Carpet-Loving :D

Try going through the bathroom window and [!] the lobsterman there. You'll get a nice item out of it ;).

Also, high ground is your friend! Use it to get the drop on your enemies.

Love the writing style. Would be nice if it was clearer which options could be applied to which phrases, but maybe I'm too used to being hand-held through my games

Fun story, it would desserve ambiant music to get the moood, but as you started it late, I know (oh yes) that had been a hard choice. Wish you have more time for the next LD. :)

I also have some hearing problems, so any music I would have picked would have been terrible.

Cool adventure! Impressive to squeeze this into LudumDare's timeframe!

Pretty fun! Kind of a Maniac Mansion-esque interface, heh. The icons were a little enigmatic; I hope everyone realized they have tooltips that appear if you hover over them.

One thing that seemed to be a bug was that when I got the data-screen, the game still said "Data-Screen: No". However, I was able to win the game after that. Other than that I don't have much to add, except that it's a pretty small game. I suppose that could be seen as a strength, though. ;)

Very Unique game with a sense of humour

Yes! Bjorn and I did it! but it was mostly him and his luscious hair.

Anyways, pretty fun game, the humor was great. excellent entry. :)

Dang it, I forgot to have the screen update when you got the Data-Screen. I'm glad everyone enjoyed it.

I am hearing that I should make the controls clearer next time, though.
