Charlie Foxtrot & The Galaxy of Tomorrow

Charlie Foxtrot has spent his entire clone life fitting in, but finally he snaps - he's just got to be true to himself! Pursued by the evil agents of the Empire of Conformity, Charlie must escape the clone mother station, track down the intergalactic rebellion against conformity, join their cause and return to liberate his clone brethren. To accomplish this he must undertake a quest through the galaxy, to strange planets full of stranger inhabitants. Can you help Charlie through this epic, zany quest?

Charlie Foxtrot & The Galaxy of Tomorrow is a full-length adventure game in the tradition of Sierra's Space Quest series. It is specifically designed to parody sci-fi as a genre and as such has a humorous, almost wacky tone. The graphics are intentionally primitive to evoke the atmosphere of early sci-fi computer games, but the characters and interactions have all been laboriously animated. Serveral musical tracks have also been parodied, and there are many other original compositions that further contribute to the atmosphere.

I have tried for some time now to get through this game but I got stuck, and now I am wondering if anyone knows where to find a walkthrough so I can get past this point in the game:
The rebel planet I entered a door saying copper and now I am lost in the maze

The game has lots of flaws, but also has so many strenghts that it really draws up.
Lots of puzzles were on the easy side, but I didn't mind - while others were too hard for me and I needed a walkthrough. I loved the fact that you could die. I think I died a total of 6 times within the game, and I never sought it out. It wasn't as if I was dancing in the dunes or anything - just walked into the ladies room and so on...
Good game, nice graphics (although amateurish), ok plot with some misses, loved the NPC's and the many many many various answers you get from doing things wrong or trying object interaction with wrong things. I liked it. Sorry it took me so long to play.

You have to admit that it has that Sierra feel...

Indeed. I really loved it.

Somehow this one didn't catch me...

There are lots of references and hints to the classics of the Science Fiction genre (Star Wars, Star Trek, 2001, Dune etc.) and ots of weird ideas, but the developer failed when he tried to put all of them together and make something bigger out of it. So what is left in the end? A bunch of ideas and a story that is so weak that it is nearly non-existing. Made it really hard to stay interested in the game.

Graphics, music and puzzles are average for an AGS game. Nothing to complain about it, but nothing that makes you cheer as well.

Might be a good game if it fits your sense of humour...
