It looks like a problem on their end – the .js file should be on their server, but is failing miserably to be found…..

I have a problem. It says requires ac_runactivecontent.js. From my googling I’ve surmised that it’s a flash problem, but I’ve updated my stuffs. Any clues brave interwebs?

It’s games like this that remind me of the reasons I love PC gaming and indie developers. The item descriptions, as well as their accompanying graphics after you have equipped your crewmembers, are solid steampunk hilarity. Huzzah is right!

although the game is a little bit repetitive and simplistic? Still, looking forward to seeing if anything is different in the full version, and will purchase it if it is cheap enough. They should put it on steamworks, possible new bastion of hope for indie developers.

very cute, but poorly balanced. it was quite easy to get the best items, at which point encounters became trivially easy.

also, there’s no suggestion that there’s anything more to the game that might induce anyone to buy it.

Yea, pretty much. I think the being able to get the best items was rigged for the demo, but it made the game’s (disappointingly simple) mechanics far too obvious. And there’s no reason to think the same gameplay won’t just be stretched over the entire full version.

A pity, as the game caught my imagination.

Ahhh, the Amazing Screw on Head. That pilot was ace the first time I saw it (and subsequent viewings). Pity it never got picked up by anyone.

Well that sucks. I got pretty darn far along, got some great equipment, and then all of a sudden “A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player to run slowly. If this continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive….”

Everything lost. I demand the ability to save.

Does it save information? That is, if I were to close the game out, and open it later today, would I have to start over?

Rather spiffing.
