This game reminds me Metroid, in a good way.

But the controls are horrible. Okay, there are 3 preprogrammed choices, but if we can choose our controls it would be the best. The basic controls are a bad choose. Why always X and Z? Only in american layout this two button is next to eachother (in hungarian eg, its swapped with Y), and why shoot is righter then jump?

The game lagged for me, and I didn't know its the code problem, or the flash plugin started to play jokes again...

The backstory (I give up playing after a 15-20 min) is not bad so far, and for a ludum dare its enough. If you ever upgrade this game to made it more playeble it will worth 4 or 5 star, but until is no more then 3 from me...
