You'll need to contact the Giveaway owners for that information. There's a link on the home page. It's a Wordpress site if that's any help.

My comment doesn't seem to show up, but wheres the download link for the trial?

~Joji~

You spelled "impression" wrong again. You added an extra e in it. XD

Anyways... wheres the download page for the trial!?

Read comment #1 for the relevant information.

Keyboard controls won't work...Logitech wireless. Logichech wireless mouse works OK, though.

i try it sound good

The producer is "CCCP Games", a Russian project group in Moscow.

Here you can find their web page:
http://www.cccp-games.ru/ (Russian)

And here you can find some information about this group:
http://www.onlinegamesdatenbank.de/index.php?section=company&companyid=3786&PHPSESSID=170f7d6a6cab9a3529a91d38a9506556 (German)

some points:

* beautiful graphics and tons of effects & sparks
* cool unit animations
* smooth movement of the tank and of the playfield
* dumb enemy ai - they just run to you and fire
* rather short: 10 missions which took me 3h of uncontinous gameplay
* music is nice *but* has a indiscutable quality: 8kHz using 16kbits is probably less than telephone quality and suitable for handy games
* sound effects are usually reduced to gun fire and explosions.. could be a bit more
* no high-score enter upon complete of the game (!!)
* game is easily to beat using just the 2nd weapon and hit n run tactics
* 3rd weapon could need rebalancing

Okay..
Vehicle control is a bit awkward, take some time to get use to...

Do anyone have any cheats to make this game a bit easier, LOL

I played the first couple levels... eh.. it's the same thing over and over. I guess I like the concept of the game but it needs to get much better. The controls are terrible as well. The sound was terrible too! It sounded like some bad mp3 you would hear on myspace or something. Until this game gets gets more work on it and shored up better... there is no reason to charge $10 for it at all.

This portion of my comment on "Iobit" was omitted from my post:

"I am aware that "Iobit" has something less than a sterling reputation on "WOT", but some of the comments that I read on the WOT website seem fishy themselves."

http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/iobit.com

Rabbit:

I do not want to cast any dispersion on a company that is most likely innocent. The company name "Iobit" seems to ring a bell and calls to mind several recent comments (within the last two weeks) that I have read on the "Web" in reference to malware and unsolicited browser changes. Other than the good reputation of "Game Booster", is anything else known about this company?

I doubt that our moderator would steer us wrong - my guess is that I am thinking of some other company.


....Moderator Comment....


A comment was made by someone in the forums stating that Iobit were not safe, but it was then shown that they were wrong. I can't point you to the reference though as I need to crash. Been too long in front of the computer since arriving hoe from the hospital earlier today.

There wont be any more moderation from me until just before the change over to the next game. It's after 5am here in the UK and I should have been in bed ages ago. :)

If you don't think the enemies are challenging enough, try upping the AI. Go into the game's Data directory, and open up ai.dat in a text editor. Using the first line as a guide, you can edit the middle section (the first and last section are commented out and doesn't apply to the game) to make the game more challenging. Also, if you want yourself to have less health, look in the a_info.dat file and change the power field of the item energy lower.

P. S. If you don't want to screw up your game and not be able to restore it, make sure you create a backup of the entire game directory before modding.

I like the original "Crimson Road" and I like this too...
Very good gameplay, many thanks!!!

thanx for the info on gamebooster. i have used it for a long time and normally run it before playing a game. i got the game to run, finally, but not smoothly. the movements seem a bit too uncontrollable as the protagonist tends to move too fast and quirky. I'll wait for another game to play. I've still got the last few to try out, after I get bored with Undercroft. Good game!!! :)

Rabbit:

Do any of these games (similar) is a control other than the arrow keys?

.....Moderator Comment.....

Hi Bigun, not sure; its been sometime since I played any of them. When I have time I'll check for you. (I may need reminding, lol)

From inside the game I could not see any option to switch to windowed mode from full screen mode... If you open config.cfg in say notepad.exe and change:
fullScreen = 1

to

fullScreen = 0

and save it.

Loaded ok in win 7
ran ok, lots of action.
I enjoyed the game EXCEPT I'm old and just not as coordinated as I once was ,using 2 hands takes a while for me to get used to.
If you like action, mindless violence lots of explosions
you'll love this game.

Ok on Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit. Did 3 levels. Reading comments here helps to get hang of play. Only prob I had was maybe due to D: hard
drive itself. Had played 1 level, got mission finished sign. Then crashed. But noticed desktop shortcut (and some others) greyed.
D: was gone. PC off. Reran w/o D: then off. Rehooked D: and all was
normal again. Perhaps SATA data cable had come loose? I'd had same
prob just 2 days ago with some game here to D: and reset D: then too.
Maybe hadn't put data cable back on tight? Had to redo first mission but thereafter saved ok.
Have to see how decent levels above 3 are. Do check the little map in bottom right corner for orientation. Helps finding what to blast next. And the target circle doesn't seem too accurate. Best to just blast away moving back and forth to hit those early fixed targets.
Later the attackers get hit ok. Maybe a 7 or 6 on 10 scale.
Options give some standard selections. Levels & keys.

I installed it and it wouldn't run. I installed it again, but it wouldn't run. Then when it did run, it moves so erratically that the fun is totally gone. How does one shoot? How does one play the game? if these two questions have to be asked, then it's best for me to pass on this game. Undercroft is more to my liking. It's a blast and well worth the cost. Any rpgs coming in?

....MODERATOR COMMENT.....

Try installing Game Booster which is available for free via the following link:

http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html

From your description it seems like there isn't enough memory left to run the game effectively. Game Booster turns off all unecessary programs. when you've had enough of playing the game you can then revert back to normal widows running by clicking on the Game Booster icon and turning off Game Booster from the button provided.

Alternatively get the Gametop version that I've linked to in my first post (#1) It will install to a different folder so doesn't overwrite the one from Gametop; then see if you have the same problem. The game runs fine on my system.

I downloaded this when it was offered before. It was just ok.


.....MODERATOR COMMENT.....

Read my comment just above this post. I think the developer has done a big upgrade on the game as I rarely change my mind about a game as significantly as I have with this game. Todays version has been updated from the original.

Moderator...

I had finished the level. There were no spheres left, and all buildings had been fired at until I concluded that they were indestructible. I thoroughly searched the level for ways to continue, but could find nothing. There was no directional arrow, and the "kill all enemies" message occurred when I captured the last sphere. But no enemies appeared to kill.

I must conclude that the game bugged up.


....MODERATOR COMMENT....

Thanks for the follow up Aeonic, I haven't played the giveaway version only the Gametop version, which played okay. Despite the browser opening on all Gametop games I reckon it's still worth trying that version before you give up on this game totally (see my post at #1 for a download link. When I first played this game I wasn't impressed, but after playing the updated version for nearly 3 hours yesterday I'd conclude that it's worth having in your games library. The developer must have made some improvements as I rarely change my opinion of a game once I've played it for so many hours. I scored it a 5 out of 10 the first time now a 7 out of 10 so the developer must have done something right, lol.

I do still think playing this game for too long at one sitting will become a little tedious; I think its one of those games to be played a few levels at a time.

W.R.

Oh, by the way, running XP Pro SP3

What a joke.
Installed and ran.
Immediately got a error message from windows debug mode.
Not worth the download time.
To bad, looked like a good game.
Bob T.


.....MODERATOR COMMENT.......


Hi Bob, try the free version from Gametop. It's exactly the same version except it has an uninstaller, creates a desktop shortcut. The only negative is it does open up your browser to Gametops home site when you close the game down. Oh yeah, if you install it, be sure to uncheck the box that asks if you want Gametop to be your home page. :)

I gave it a brief play, and on the second level, I was instructed to "kill all enemies". However, there were no enemies to kill. So I wandered around on the map for a few minutes and launched a lot of grenades, then quit.



.....MODERATOR COMMENT......

Hi Aeonic, most of the enemies appear when you capture one of the energy spheres. To capture an energy sphere you first have to destriy the building thats holding the forcefield generator. If you drive up to one of the force fields it should bring up a message telling you about the building. then follow the blue arrow that appears. Yellow arrows point to energy spheres blue to buildings that need to be destroyed.

Is the internet still usable with dial up?????


.......MODERATOR COMMENT........

Yes it is; it just takes longer to download files from the net.

To clarify, not that the music is bad, but it sounds like listening to a concert through a wall.

Those must be the lowest quality MP3s I've ever seen in my life.

I will pass on this. First off I don't like to download from a fly by night publisher. Try to find "Some Company" on the net. You can't. I refuse to download any game or program from an invisible site. Besides the game sucks so it's no loss to me. I can download much better for free elsewhere. I don't want to put down the GGAOTD's efforts.... but please. Imagine yourselves at home wanting to download a game. Is this the type of game you would waste your time with? I don't think so.

Definitely the best graphics game I've ever seen on here; all 3D, no sprites or anything like that. It looks to repetitive, though, more like an online flash game with amped-up graphics.

Why bother getting a time limited game when you can go here and get them free (just like here) with no time limit. All the games are free (abandonware) and are full versions.

enjoy

Thanks Whiterabbit for all you do! It is highly appreciated. So glad the gamegiveaway is back in operation. Great service to determine if a game is for you.

Now, if I could just create some more space on my computer. HA

I just got a macbook pro and cannot run these games anymore. Can you tell me where I can get mac versions of these games?

Okay, you're right - last year it was "Alien Terminator" (non-"Deluxe"): http://game.giveawayoftheday.com/alien-terminator/

So it seems to be a newer version. :)


....MODERATOR COMMENTS......

Yes, lol. Actually I totally missed the non deluxe version when I did a search nothing showed up and I can't remember getting this game. That's what oipiates do for you (make you forget)

Follow Mad Ollies link above for more comments. I actually only scored this game 5 out of 10 the last time I played it (though I really don't remember it at all, lol.

The graphics look okay, hope the gameplay is okay too.

Thanks GGotd & "Some Company"

I played 6 levels and can't do it the same thing a seventh time sorry.
Thx anyway :-\

I don't like it : it is booooring... I played 2 jupiters levels and it was starting to get repetitive... the graphics are good for an indie, but the goal of the game is : destroy a building, take energy ball, kill 50 monsters (you do not even have to move to kill them) and start again...

Thanks Bryan - I deleted the comment as requested.

Same version as last year?


.....MODERATOR COMMENT.......

This game has neer been given away before?

no problem Whiterabbit-uk.

i actually like it bigger.

probably because im on high speed modem.

Great game giveaway today! The navigation of the vehicle and the shooting is very frustrating, but the graphics and theme are interesting enough to keep me engaged. It may take me some time before I can navigate consistently.

I really enjoy this type of shooter. I like the variety of enemies, starting out the static targets and moving me up to more difficult objects as my skills increase. This is a great game to launch quickly, defeat a level and come back again, or take on several more levels, time permitting.

Thanks for introducing me to this game and producer! I'm off to practice my target and driving skills.

Thanks,rabbit, i liked the BIG pictures, because they helped me view the game screen better. it is hard when you are using a netbook with a small screen. my head did not have to be 1 hand length from the screen to see the pictures tonight.


.....MODERATOR COMMENT.....

I'd much rather post larger format images, but I've got to consider those on dial up as well. Larger images can slow down a page loading quite dramatically. So unfortunately they have been exchanged for smaller images.

just posting some spelling errors I found. too obvious to ignore

It was the truck that was the sole hope of the entire planet earth habitants.

what are haitants? do they mean inhabitants?

rabbit, you posted game as being available a 27/7 download at Gametop.
did you mean to say 24/7?

.....MODERATOR COMMENT......

I was determined to at least post a token review. I really should have left it, but I've got so used to doing it I couldn't stop myself. I actually had a rough draft of my impreessions of the game after playing it for 2 to 3 hours yesterday, but left no time to copy out what I'd written. I also wrote the above in a major rush and didn't even get chance to proof read it. I meant to say it was available 27/7, implying its available any time and all the time, lol.

I may update it with the observations I made last night once I've moderated the comments already posted.

sorry about the size of the images I though I'd adjusted the resolution. I've not got time to fix it at the moment; got to leave for the hospital appointment. Will sort it when I get back.

There will be no moderation till I return, so please don't post any messages asking whats going on. I'll moderate as son as I can.

Alien Terminator Deluxe: (~38Mb)


The game installs without any shortcut so make a note of where it installs to. It installed to my root directory which is E: and then into my games folder E:\Games, however the root directory is usually C: by default so you’re more likely to find it at C:\Games\AlienTerminatorDeluxe. There is also no uninstaller, so to delete the game just delete the games folder. You’ll find the Gametop version, which I mention below does have an uninstaller, but you do get the usual browser opening when shutting the game down.

There’s a 4.35min video available to watch which will give you a good idea as to what to expect from this game. You can see it Watch video of Alien Terminator HERE

I’m off to the dental hospital in a few moments so haven’t had time to write up a full account of the game. I wasn’t given a download link for a demo of the game, however, I checked online and amazingly found the game for free at Gametop.

The Game

The first level is a tutorial level where you learn to maneuver your vehicle (using the keyboard cursor keys) to move around a maze like structure. The controls are a little twitchy; making it quite hard to control the turning of your vehicles, but it does get easier with a little practice. This is important as in later levels you have to maneuver around lots of objects. You’ll also be given the opportunity to try out the various weapons that you carry on your vehicle. The top mounted weapon is controlled by the movement of the mouse; the mouse pointer becomes the firing reticule and the fire button is the left mouse button; grenades can be thrown by using the right mouse button and the super weapon by using the space bar. All key bindings can be changed to keys more comfortable to the individual by going into the options menu via the main menu. Your main weapon can be changed from the default mini gun to a laser and pulse cannon using the mouse scroll wheel. It appears that all the weapons are upgradeable apart from the grenades, but I wasn’t able to confirm this as I only played as far as level 4 (the Jupiter level). You’ll find each level has a boss stage at the end of the level.

The basic set up of the game play is to destroy a building that holds the force field generators, then go collect the energy sphere that was initially protected by the force field. As soon as you collect the sphere you are attacked by hordes of aliens. As you progress the levels get steadily harder.



You’ll find several bonuses in game. You need to pick these up quickly as they disappear within around 20 to 30 seconds. These include the following:

A…....Armor (health)
S….…Super Weapon
G……Adds 10 grenades
T…….Time deceleration

Your progress is automatically saved at the end of a completed level. Failing to complete a mission means you have to start from the beginning of that level. You can replay any completed missions.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conclusion:

Alien Terminator Deluxe plays well, though can become a little repetitive at times. I found it was quite enjoyable the first time around, but because I was taking notes while playing I kept losing my health and having to restart the level, which did make the game feel much too repetitive, however once I completed my notes I was able to progress. I think this is one of those games that you’ll either love or hate. It’s basically on the lines of Alien Shooter and games of that ilk, which I posted links to the other week.

I did find the vehicle difficult to control at first, but with practice it became much easier, but I was never really happy with it. Trying to catch bonuses sometimes became frustrating when trying to maneuver to catch them, especially in later levels where there are lots of obstacles to maneuver around; only for the bonuses to disappear before I had the chance to collect them.

The lack of a developers web site is worrying. We’ve has several games from Some Company; I’d expect to see some sign of a developers credentials and previous work if I was going to purchase this game, though as mentioned below, this game is free all the time at Gametop (very recent addition), so there’s no need (if you know of Gametops existence, lol – by the way, there are a couple more new games available from Gametop).

I’d still give this 7 out of 10 as I think it’s a great game to fill in the odd ten minutes here and ther, the graphics are good and it gets progressively harder.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Music.

The music fits well with this game. An energetic techno sound, however, if you wish to exchange the six tracks that are in the music folder all you need to do is re name the files to the ones within the folder which can be found by following the path:

C:\....................\Alien Terminator Deluxe\Data\Music

The music is in the MP3 format which is handy as it simplifies the process.
