If Douglas Adams had written a multiple-choice gamebook, it might not be entirely unlike this!

Brings back good memories!

Back before computers and video games were common place, these books were such a fun way to spend time. Decent writing and lots of fun choices to make, about to read it again and see how it ends this time.
Fun adventure

Good story, a number of different choices with consequences, and a chance to name your own starship - goldfish not included. Thanks for creating a fun app!
Really good
Who wants to know?!?!?
I really enjoyed this adventure! It's absolutely one of the best choice games I've ever played! Really well written, good job all the way around.
Loved it immediately

I'm only about four steps in, but I love this game. The writing is very funny, the stats seem manageable, and a space adventure was just what I was needing to do. Give it a go! It's free, so why not?
Good

I would say that this story is good not great. It is just isn't as exciting or fun as the other choice of games/hosted games sorry
Great story but app frustrates

I like this story and the choices made it interesting and fun. I did not like the ad location - made it sometimes confiding about my next steps because of the proximity to the button. Some ads also looked like functions that are part of the game.
Pretty Boring

This "Choose Your Own Adventure" style story starts out with some promising Douglas Adams type humor, but quickly devolves into an uninteresting writing style that I found myself skipping through. The primary problems are: 1. There isn't very much tension in the story. 2. Aside from different names, there is no real variation between the characters; they all sound the same. 3. There are too many paragraphs without choices, and when the choices do come up... 4. ...there are not enough of them (you often only get two, and it seemed like a coin toss for me which to choose, which brings up my final point: 5. There is no joy in roll playing my character. Part of the fun of roll playing is to become someone else, but the character in this tale is a decidedly average Joe that's given decidedly pedestrian choices). For spending a buck, I didn't feel robbed, but I didn't have much fun either. Try out some of the other 'Choice Of' games first, especially Choice of the Dragon and Mobile Armored Marine.
Doulas Adams it is Not!

Shame on you for invoking Doulas Adams' name to promote your game! "If Douglas Adams had written a multiple choice game book, it might not be entirely unlike this one," you write in your description of your game. Well, Douglas Adams DID write a text multiple choice game (with Steve Meretzki) - the classic Infocom game "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy." HHGTHG is a classic, brilliant game that was far more than a simple translation of the book/radio show. It is one of the best text adventures ever made. Adams also started a sequel to that game that unfortunately was never completed. He did, however, write another game, "Starship Titanic". Since he is sadly, prematurely dead, he cannot stand up for himself and being a generous soul, he might have let this slide, but as a longtime fan, I cannot. Please remove that sentence from your game description. I tried your game and it isn't even in the same league as Adams' work. If you can't find some other selling points for your game, that should tell you something right there!
Too short and lacks a good story
Scott Ferris
This is the shortest choice game I've played, & the story itself is terrible because of it. The thing that bothered me most was that there was no conflict that made you stay on your toes, & it was too predictable. I wouldn't recommend downloading this game.
