Yeeesssss!, I figured out what was needed to play the game......
A brain......
For some unaccountable reason I assumed the game worked with the mouse. The main menu is so well done, and as someone mentiones above, very arty, that I'm sure that's an easy assumption to make. Damn, the developer is going to think I'm really in da da land, which I am most of the time I suppose.
Anyway. I though I'd try and install it on my slowest computer, which I did, but noticed that the animation that runs in the background goes really slowly and lags tremendously. Though while watching it, I started pressing all the keyboard keys and suddenly saw the menu cursor move to the credits. so after a few minutes of playing around, in which the game had frozen completely, I returned to the copy on one of my faster machines and tried again............. Success!
So to start the game you press Q. The WASD keys are your movement keys and the A and D keys are used to cycle through the menu on the firt page (main menu). You can check out the controls required, which are very few. I'll write a review of this game over the next few days. I'm in the middle of writing the "Platform the Game review at the moment, so don't want to beak off to check this out otherwise I'll be knocked off my stride.
The introductory sequences of the game are quite dramatic, made so by the visual imagery and the music.
Just check out the controls first by moving the cursor to 'controls' using the D key then click on Q to open the menu. Once you've familiarized yourself with the controls click on Q to close the window and return to the main menu. You can either use the D or A keys to get back to the start button. Once the cursor is next to start, click on the Q button again and get ready for what looks like a good game, though this is only an assumption as I've only watched the first few images so far..... lol.
I'd better contact the developer to let him know I was a sleep when trying this game out earlier. :)
Note:
It looks like this game was made for those with faster machines in mind because trying to play it on my slowest machine that has the following specifications; it runs very slowly.
2.2GHz cpu
Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS 256Mb RAM Graphics card
1.54G of RAM
Oddly, though I know the processor is a 2.2Ghz, when checking the specifications using the dxdiagnostic tool it says the cpu is only 1.1GHz, which is wrong, so maybe there's something wrong with the cpu as the computer does generally run slowly, though when playing games they work fine.
If you have XP you can run this tool as well by going to the start menu, clicking on run then typing in dxdiag and pressing the okay button
