I tried to play this when it first came out, and was too stupid to make it through the demo. Just plain dumb on my part, not the game's fault. Giving it a shot now, and all my clickyclick adventure game and turn-based game skills and FPS skills won't help a tinker's damn.
I have only a tiny bit of battery power, I gather that's because I haven't bought bigger shield batteries, but they haven't yet been for sale at Weasel. "E" supposedly turns on and off shield, but instead it uses any batteries I have to recharge. Occasionally I find and pick up an item called an Ionic Shield, which doesn't appear to recharge me *or* stay in inventory, just vanishes. Do I have to turn shields on manually? Is it always on? Are the better batteries and shields available later? Or do i just suck at this game? Also, after I fail to beat this I'm going to dig out an old horrid knockoff of it called "Meat Puppet" and play it with cheats and see if I can beat it. When I played it when it first came out and I got a review copy (that's how long that's been) it crashed to windows immediately.
