Good and fun game! Little annoying when you have to start over at the medbay, but i guess i just must play better :P

Great!
The ending kinda made it feel incomplete...

Cute and fun little game. Nice one.

Something was up with one of the sound effects (Linux, running the Java 6 version) that meant everything slowed weirdly down with a horrible crackling sound each time gravity reversed, but it was still highly playable and made me want to complete it.

Couple of things I noticed / thought of:

* The last two items don't get taken off you at the end.
* You get told you can go back to bed, but if you do, nothing happens.
* With no health and no way to die, you end up using the medbay as a shortcut, especially after trying to return from far-flung corners of the ship.
* NPCs seem to get stuck in the walls sometimes.

That said, a great effort.

It lags a lot when gravity shifts on my Macbook with Java 7, but other than that it's all good. Really cute art style :)

Thanks a lot guys.
I think the lag issue is caused by the sound that is triggered every time something falls and hits the ground, although windows doesn't seem to have a problem with it. I think its within the compo rules if I try to fix it.

Sorry about the ending, the 'story' suffers a bit in my LD entries. There's nothing to do after you fix it, I just wanted to go back to bed :P

I'll make sure I play & rate each one of your games!

I liked how you connected story and theme. The art is very nice too. Great job!

Great little platformer, with great artwork and a fun twist. Music was nice too (sounded very much like a clunky space ship). I enjoyed it!

Were those little cat-looking things with eyepatches, which you could see in some of the side rooms, a reference to something? Seemed familiar, but I couldn't place it.
