autodestruct gets bugged if you turn it on and kill the xeno/escape then use the restart button to play again. could you fix it please ? :)

Thanks for letting me know; I've just released a new version. Can I check how it was bugged for you? Was it that the autodestruct stay on for the next game?

yes the autodestruct button was bugged it would say that the autodestruct isnt cancellable, restarting the game fixed it.. will you also release offline versions of the game again? it appears that i cannot run it on the website for whatever reason

also i kinda feel like the alien AI is dumb.. it sometimes gets stuck in one place and never leaves it, allowing me to just get everyone armed up and kill it easily, it rarely gives chase which makes baiting it into the airlocks almost impossible

Thanks for the feedback. Currently, the alien will only attack a crewman if they're on their own, and will run away if there's more than one. I've never noticed it get stuck, but I'll see if I can recreate it.

ive seen the alien get stuck on the ladder that leads down to the shuttle/lifesupport section of the ship, if you go there with everyone the alien will retreat, if you wait there the alien will keep coming back until he dies/kills everyone

also androids are bugged, if there is a android in a room and you kill him he keep dying over and over, dropping tons of copies of their body and somehow killing the people in the room??

Just another question about this, as I'm no expert on the original: what was to stop the player tooling up and wandering around the ship in a crowd, hunting the alien?

well in the movie they keep splitting up and dying, so uh, dunno?, maybe if they are in a room with the alien with more than 4 people then the alien charges into them and kills 2-3 of them very quickly, so the player is forced to split up and avoid direct confrontation with the alien..

Sorry for digging an old topic, just stumbled upon this remake, I just love the original.

If I remember correctly, character's morale would start to go down if there are 3 or more characters in the same room (simulating the bickering and disagreement between characters), which was why you would have to split a bit things. Also, the time limit would force you to split to go faster.

Thanks for the reply, that makes sense. I couldn't see why else the player would bother splitting their team up. Btw, did you enjoy the game or is there any aspect you didn't like?
