Reviewer's comments
"I was quite impressed by this short level and its inventive gameplay which throws constantly varied challenges at the player without any dull moments. I liked particularly the trap sections involving conveyor belts and moving lasers, the underwater room with floating mines, and the timed trials. All of these offer a good amount of challenge without being too difficult. Puzzles are also very entertaining, including a one sokoban-style block puzzle, switch puzzles and several others. I encountered a bug in the room with a robot hog which is mentioned in the readme. I used a switch to activate a conveyor belt before getting rid of the hog, which trapped me into a never-ending flyby loop. It is also possible to get stuck in the room with a submarine boss if you haven’t saved enough harpoons to destroy it. Visually the level is well-crafted although many of the corridors and rooms look very similar, featuring quite minimalistic design. Despite the good texturing and lighting, I found none of the areas particularly memorable or awe-inspiring, detracting from the atmosphere to some degree. To conclude, it may not be the most beautiful level visually, but the gameplay is highly entertaining and well-planned, and thus, I highly recommend this to all players." - Samu (11-Apr-2026)
"a nice little level, i absolutley liked the leveldesigne, starts in the ocean on a island and ends in base under water, the mission is simple get fuel for your boat but sometimes the simple things are awesome." - Raider278 (19-Jun-2024)
"It's not often that a level gives you the feeling that it's a masterpiece although you know it isn't. Creativity, well balanced and interesting gameplay, and an environment that feels new and fresh are the reasons, I guess. Well, this is one of those levels. Very heartily recommended." - billie2001 (07-Jun-2024)
"Every now and then, you play a custom level and it just clicks with you real well on all counts. Out Of Fuel is one of those instances. I simply loved the variety of gameplay on offer here, and the difficulty level is perfectly pitched to be accessible to any reasonably experienced player, but contains enough challenging bits to never become tedious (nothing too frustrating though). There are numerous highlights, but if I had to pick a few I'd go for: the timed run initiated by a giant hamster wheel(!), the conveyor belt sequences and the submarine boss battle. The surreal near- invisible ninjas were neat touches too. All taking place in a beautifully textured environment. Honestly, this was a near- perfect raiding experience." - Ryan (29-May-2024)
"Alphonse has hit us with a recent flurry of levels, and thankfully all are of the TR4 variety. I found this one to be quite a bit more difficult than the first of the four I played (Escape from the Ship). In fact, there were two sequences near the end that I felt cried out for savegames to be provided along with the written walk I prepared: (1) navigating a moving walkway, lasers and death holes to reach a side room and (2) the timed run in the hallway guarded by the drill-bit machine (you need at least 8 seconds to mount and climb that ladder surface past the timed trap door). The tasks are varied and engaging, and plenty of flares, weaponry and ammunition are supplied so that the player never has to worry about running low. A fine effort, and I'm looking forward to playing the remaining two levels." - Phil (27-May-2024)
"Bugs/Functional Issues
  • Keep a save when entering the area past the magnets, with the mechanical boar and crates. This is noted somewhat in the readme, but with the boar alive I ran into glitches involving a keycard disappearing on me, or never appearing at all when a crate gets broken.
Liked
  • There are several interesting traps for Lara, including an underwater mine field and that killer sweeper machine which seems to be a bit more sentient than its TR3 counterpart!
  • Save your harpoon ammo, as there is a submarine boss fight! There is another boss (the TR5 "shoot its eyes out" kind) and a few other enemies as well, which are next to invisible for some reason.
  • There are also some nice puzzles, including pushable blocks and a floorpad mirror room.
  • The industrial architecture is mostly standard fare, but the texturing and lighting really help sell the environments. The last secret area is also a pretty intriguing place.

"Out of fuel, life is cruel. Lara's motorboat runs on high-pollution TRNG, but it gave us the best refill (not filler) level since No More Gasoline: rich in octanes, fuel of surprises, with novelty one nafta another, and perfect for tank's giving. The one place I dieseliked was where I ran on fumes. The odd return to the surface was also mind-benzin. Later I was not pe-trolled, so an average Jerrycan play this beautifuel mission. For it, the oil has been forming since the Carboniferous. Skipping it is a kero-sin. Rammstein would be proud." - DJ Full (12-May-2024)
