Anyone ever played chopper? or robot unicorn attack? it plays like those, but with a couple of very important elements.
An Antagonist: He doesn't do much, just chases you, launches the occasional laser attack, and taunts you.
Allies: These are largely ineffectual, but show that someone cares enough about you character that they're willing to help you, despite your slim chances of survival.
It's amazing how much drama they add.
Also please don't tell me whether or not I can escape the Iron Terror, that ambiguity gives me the hope that I will survive, while still making the Iron Terror a credible threat, because if a game has a happy ending I can reach, all the failures are in the characters' imagination, partly as part of his planning process. (the result being that Limbos' Kid is an incredibly quick witted and intelligent, but pessimistic bad ass compared to me).
