The audio is a nightmare. In a good way - the low hum of space and the wailing of the alarm were distinctly unpleasant!

One problem I did have - sometimes, it seems like doors wouldn't open and I couldn't work out why. I got stuck in a corridor between rooms >.>

I really like the idea. However the game was very confusing to play at first. It took me some time to realize I have to press E to leave the initial screen ;)

Interesting concept. The movement of the character was really smooth.
It fit the theme really well.
I liked the idea of managing multiple tasks.
I found all the different types out of alarms a bit annoying after a while.

I liked this game. The mini-games were a bit too simple (except for the "hold button when the light is green"), but that can be expected for the limited time that was available. I particularly liked the detail that as you start losing you mind, you also start to roll with the ball instead of running in it.
The sound effects were good, especially because the different alarms had different sounds, so I didn't need to check the terminal to see where I needed to go.

The idea of a hamster rolling around a spaceship to fix issues is pretty fun! I really like the lighting when the doors open. Though I got a bit annoyed by the lack of variety in the activities to fix the alarms and that I had no way of telling where the alarms were coming from. An arrow would go a long way in making that more clear :) That being said, it definitely had an unsettling vibe and a sense of urgency. Nice work!

I enjoyed your game very much, the animated background was stunning and the atmosphere was also nice. All the alarms blaring at the same time do test your sanity ;-) I only wish there was a larger variety of mini games, the random lights could be a little frustrating sometimes

The mini games are simple but fun, overall it lacks polish but it works. The effects on the background are cool. Nice work !

I was confused the whole time I was playing. You are presented with a lot of information right off the bat and I didn't know that I had to press E to open the doors. Maybe just a little more explanation would have helped. After a few minutes I got it though and was able to navigate around.

I had a lot of problems with the "hold the mouse button to move the arrow" game because it seemed almost random. I was playing the web version though, so that might explain it.

Overall it was a neat experience. The hamster in the ball was plenty funny and the changes to the ball was a nice way to judge your overall mental state without something like a gauge somewhere. Nicely done.

Definitly unstable) Pretty good and easy, but something is missing I think.

At some time there was a super funny bug when the hamstter stopped moving and just rotated with the ball. Looked super fun. xD Overall i wouldd whish for a way to see where the dmg is done. The doors color alone might work, but still caused confusion. Also i would like to see more minigames (at least i found only 1 in a couple of Minutes). But the atmosphere is greate, the hamster is cute and the setting is neat. Keep it up :)

Fun game. Minimap could make it less confusing.

A fun game about an unusual astronaut, a cool but simple gameplay, and in general, the general dampness of the project does not allow you to fully enjoy)

This game is a bit like mine, I liked it, it's really not entirely clear what needs to be done)
P.S. Very cute hamster)

Poor hamster was dead by the time i finished the game. I feel like i played the same gameplay somewhere else in the ludume dare. Overall good game. :)

Funny character and good controls, but I never got past the first three or four rooms.

Funny entry. I enjoyed how the ball would start to crack as you took on damage. Does it eventually break? I got to the point where I was allowed to relax, so I assume I won. Interesting entry, and nice work!

the absurdity is fun and I like the rush around to do stuff. Opening the doors felt unnecessarily clunky and slow, I think it would be better to just open them instantly (unless a mechanic "broke" them or something). Good entry.

This one is a mess... in a good way! Having to roll from one side of the ship to the other all the time combined with all the sounds that blast your ears hits the theme really well. Good job!
