Finally, on the game/comic thing - I mentioned that a bit earlier in the thread. It doesn't really fit into either game or comic, (and a previous poster even suggested movie). Sometimes things just defy easy categorisation, and if it were in comics, someone would just be complaining about it really being a game over there...
But games are interactive where as comics are not
Comics are defined as: a publication that consists of comic art in the form of sequential juxtaposed panels that represent individual scenes. While comic is defined as causing or meant to cause laughter. I would say that with these definition that the comic section would be perfect for this item. It can also be defined as a short story, primarily using still framed images with little to no text to tell the story.
While a video game is defined as: an electronic game that involves human interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on the video device. You are not getting any feedback from the user other than to advance to the next line of text or scene, there are no choices.
This is a short story nothing more, that being said the best place is comics. Labeling this as a game sets certain expectations of interaction that this just doesn't have. And good job on SpaceCops by the way, I'm fully satisfied with that game.
