I can't quite wrap my head around the gameplay, though. Is it just sort of gamble as to which column goes? Is it ever possible to make the robot or yourself fall out? (Morbid curiosity.)

The fact that a random room drops after each rotation is a bit confusing, that is true. And no, neither you nor the robot can be pushed off the ship in that way. We had planned to let you drop the robot to get some respite before a new one would come in, but no time to do that...\r<br\/>\r<br\/>And an indication of the column that is about to be dropped would indeed be good, but again, lack of time :( Thanks again for playing it, though! :)"},{"author_name":"Tangible Games","author_uid":"25746","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 1:47pm","epoch":1418132520,"text":"Fantastic atmospheric audio, immersive action-puzzle gameplay, nice graphics!
