SUMMARY
You are part of a mining team, exploring some of the mines lower levels, when you encounter *gasp* alien life. This being the authors first ever attempt at creating a 3D level, it's pretty creative. The story and atmosphere are well done, and combine well. The lay-out is decent, but very linear and simple. Some background music would have been nice. The action element is good, and fairly challenging, until the end when you get the minigun, and don't really need it. Health is placed well, and was the key contributor to challenge, and ammo was placed well also. A very short and simple map, with a visual error or two, but a great start for a beginner. While the map is small, simple, and in need of added work, it is obvious that the author had a vision, plotted it out , and attempted to build a quality map. I look forward to playing future creations.
