[h1] It plays similar to old school roguelike games mixed with Boulder Dash but a bit and a tad more simplified. Just press arrows to navigate and attack. Save humanz. Some elements are weird though, when stumbling upon stalactites they fall after short time despite gameplay being turn based. Visuals are ok, have some nice artistic organic like scenery. As you move reveal rest of map. Later levels introduce more stuff. Soundtrack is good. Overall hard to recommend because gameplay is boring. [/h1]

I've never played a game quite like this! I'm a little sad about that, and that it's so short, but it's certainly an experience.

okay so basically nobody knows about this game, its core concept is good but i think the execution could be better. its still a great game and its definitely worth its cheap price.

game doesnt work, crashed after the splash screen, looking at the discussions this is a known issue, along with achievements not working, which the devs response to is "well it should work"

A wonderful little turn based exloration game! But I don't like that you don't see exact level stats on the world map. And the fact that levels come in groups of three, and you can't just pick up a scientist you forgot in zone 1 of the level and quit. You have to redo the whole group.
