Summary: Patches or no patches, but get the walk-though
Review: When I reached the fourth level on this game I have to say I did get stuck on what to do next. Fortunately I did get a "walk-through" off the Internet and that helped me advance to the "Sun Creature" stage (level 14?). Here's where the game itself stalled on me. My ship faced and retreated from the sun creature in accordance with the walk-through I was following (after all it helped me this far). Anyway, after my retreat I waited for a communication from the nearby planet as to how to stop the creature, but it never came (I waited a long time). I eventually gave up (I have a life). This game does need its players to get a patch, but it didn't do me anymore help. It would seem that someone did get further in the game than me or I wouldn't have a walk-through to refer to. I just can't recommend this game to anyone in good conscience. It would be a 5 star game -- IF IT JUST WORKED. The new motto for software development across the board: Quality Counts. So make sure to test it thoroughly before you package it.
