Review by Kim Robinson on 2nd August 2007
A quite short but redeemingly fun level with an alien space station theme - there's nothing too hard or challenging to be found, but the gameplay is solid which makes up in part. Textures, shadows and overall design are pretty top-notch, and the level runs fluidly from one area to the next. Certainly one for the collection!

It's smaller than the other levels I've made to go with it, and there aren't as many cut-scenes.

Yes Dukematch? 8 Players (note: Dukematch was not extensively tested before I released this, so please e-mail me if you have any suggestions regarding weapon placement etc.) Multiplay? 8 Players Skill? All Four New Art? No New Sounds? No Construction Time :About 2-3 weeks, working for around 1½ hours each day. Base :New level from scratch Editors used :Build Known Bugs :Sound may 'cut out' sometimes in the begining part of the level. I'm not sure of the reason for this, but it may be either because of the way you've configured duke3d, or because your sound card is shit. I know mine is. Also, in the pool of water with the blue keycard, the octabrain can bite you through the glass. Stand back! This map can be distributed freely in its original form with this file included. ============================== THANKS FOR PLAYING EARTHBOUND! ==============================
