ElTerprise: Yeah. I'm still not getting used to it completely which is odd as i didn't had a problem with dying in FTL....
I find FTL to be a lot more forgiving (except the final boss, it's an absolute pig) which for those who struggle with that probably tells you a lot about ToME...

LaPtiteBete: There is a final level ? ... ô__ô ... I never make it to more than the 2nd screen...

ElTerprise: Apparently so. The furthest i got was the third star system or so...but the is a sector which is supposed to be the last stand or so

Yup, there are 8 sectors you have to go through, although the last one is mainly just the boss.

I've won it a few times, and almost unlocked all the ships (I think I have two to go). It's one of my favourite newer games though :)

LaPtiteBete: Nah... -you- are kidding me !! :-D
Well, I might have told you a couple of weeks ago that I was planning to try it soon... I was just waiting to be less busy with other stuff... :)
So, do you like it ??
And yeah, I'd be glad to see your famous canyon ! :))

AgentBirdnest: Yeah, I like it... It isn't really amazing, but I'm having fun. (It is certainly no Blackwell... but nothing is :-p)
So far, the story isn't interesting to me at all, and I don't really care about the characters... And the puzzles are quite easy... But I really enjoy the setting. And as usual with Wadjet Eye games, I think the art, voices, and music are great.
So... I don't think it is an outstanding game (yet), but I'm still having fun :-)

I'll try to take a picture of the canyon today and post it :-)
Yes, Blackwell was really great ; we shouldn't put our hopes too high :) nothing compares...
That being said, I like the atmosphere too... the story is a bit slow to start I think... (nice starting though !)... Voices are nice ; music is "not bad", but I wouldn't say it's "great"... and the riddles are pieces of cake for the moment... :-\ well, we'll see... How fare have you been ?
\o/ Yes !! A picture !! \o/

I've only unlocked two ships so far (iirc) and played once in while. It's a really good game :).

While it does get easier when you start to learn the little tricks (teleport and mantis boarders, when used right, is by far the best tactic in the game, and always upgrade your doors early so you can open airlocks and choke intruders) but a lot of it comes down to luck, getting decent events that give you a lot of scrap or good weapons, managing to pick up enough crew etc.

Yeah. I always upgrade my doors. It's a goog tactic to get rid of those intruders. My biggest problem so far is that i didn't have muck luck...:)

It gets a lot more fun when you unlock some more ships, they all play completely differently and it means repeated pkay throughs have more variety (hence why I'm trying to find the class and race unlock events in ToME). I seem to remember having a lot of success with the Engi and Zoltan ships when I started playing (plus they are reasonably easy to unlock)

Yeah... Blackwell is... Magical :-)
I really love the music. I find myself nodding my head a little as I play :"p ... I'm expecting the riddles to get at least a little more difficult (at least I hope they will)... I finished Chapter 1, then quit for the night.

Can't comment on them, have played neither. But Vertical Drop Hero is nice for times where you only have 20-30mins. You can play a round, smash some monsters, unlock some things and continue later on in another round. Had a lot of fun with it :-)
