### 5/5 — good puzzle game

*2021-03-09, version 1.7*

even though its hard I like it a lot

### 5/5 — Easy and fun to play.

*2019-08-04, version 1.7*

Nice throwback space game. Story line is interesting and straightforward. Controls easy, clues were good to follow. I like games like this, just when I thought the game would end another part takes you to explore to expand the plot. More of this adventure would be great!

### 5/5 — Good game

*2017-04-20, version 1.7*

I'm stuck.   Can't get into room 15.   I have a grenade left.   Please help.

### 2/5 — Terrible

*2016-05-24, version 1.7*

This game is terrible and it's ugly. It looks like a game designed in the 1960s, and I mean that in the worst way possible. Why does everything look like it's made out of foam?

### 1/5 — Really?

*2015-03-07, version 1.5*

Atari would put these graphics to shame. Seriously? This is horrendous and I really would like my money back...I lasted less than 5 minutes. This has no business being sold and is a shame compared to some of your other games...

### 4/5 — Hmm

*2013-09-01, version 1.2*

Changing my review. I have enjoyed all the games in the Cryptic series,and this game has been fun so far as well. But it did have one minor issue so far. One of the puzzles could not be solved according to clues or even the way hint said to do it. I had to just keep doing random things till it worked. All in all I really like the game and recommend getting it, as well as the others in series.

### 4/5 — Fun little adventure puzzle game

*2013-08-29, version 1.2*

A nice mix of puzzles, most at just the right level to make you think a bit without being complete stumpers.

### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2013-08-18, version 1*

Super challenging, great graphics, and lots of puzzles. I just wish there were more clues. Some puzzles could only be solved through lots of trial and error, unless I missed clues somewhere. Not an easy game but more than worth the buck for the amount of play time. 58 works never disappoints. Great job!
