Realized halfway through you can jump in the air and have permanent airtime, which led me to try all sorts of things before falling off the map and causing the game to basically hang.\r\rA fun little gem, but not too innovative. Seemed to twist the theme on its head, as it was more 'above the surface' than 'beneath the surface'."},{"author_name":"Jared Sartin","author_uid":"32837","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 1:51am","epoch":1398735960,"text":"Story line was way to long to get started.

The aesthetic is very well-made, and the controls are tight. You did a great job, and I can see this game being expanded upon in the future!"},{"author_name":"Flai","author_uid":"14346","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 2:35am","epoch":1398738600,"text":"@Exeneva\r\rOh no, you should't be able to jump in the air :) !\rAbout the theme: I was initially planning to make the enemies to come from the ground, but I didn't have time to implement it :(\r\r@Jared & cirolve\r\rThanks!"},{"author_name":"IAmSpencer","author_uid":"24919","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 5:11am","epoch":1398747960,"text":"That was truly fun, being able to shoot the ground and jump up higher because of it was a nice touch. The little intro dialogue made me scared but also pissed off with revenge the first time I saw those monsters, so good job making me feel engaged. Overall this was a kick-ass game, really good job! :)"},{"author_name":"Flai","author_uid":"14346","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 10:47am","epoch":1398768120,"text":"@IAmSpencer\r\rThanks a lot!

Short and sweet. The door locking mechanic is interesting except it didn't seem to achieve anything, the floating heads just float through them.

Then was honestly a little disappointed when the baddies turned out to be strange little alligator dudes. That said, well executed narrative on top of an ok side scroller. No audio hurt this game a lot. It would have added a ton to the atmosphere. Also, the final wave battle to protect Emily was WAY too long!"},{"author_name":"perfect victim","author_uid":"35015","time":"May 8, 2014 @ 11:57am","epoch":1399549920,"text":"a fun game !"}],"images":["ld29\/14346-6a740c06857f23580cbf166a101a3ab8.jpg","ld29\/14346-fc83d2df718c849467704fada26237b7.jpg","ld29\/14346-2d505d015805f84a7143214aacc112ba.jpg","ld29\/14346-a128033a38ef28f54b8dae8643d0dd47.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/db.tt\/0JWIAKYI","text":"Web"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"18494","g_author":"14346","g_event":"LD29","g_eventkey":"22","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"18523","g_title":"Installation ZA-3","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"48","g_commentcount":"18","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/14346-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/14346-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/14346-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/14346-shot3.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Hey!\r\n\r\nInstallation ZA-3 takes place on a planet (far far away!) where a group of scientists have established a research base.
