As always, thanks for playing, thanks for flying! <3
Please leave feedback below so I can improve.
EDIT: Here's a few credits I missed. Actuate tween library (saved me so much time for basic animations), POLYGONAL Haxe Game Library (just a tiny part for friendly formatting of floats), and my 7 year old son for being patient and supportive, as well as for supplying the cat MEOW noise.

WE HAVE A WINNER FOR THE HUMOUR SECTION! That really cheered me up dude, keep on bringing smiles to the internet!
That was epic, didn't quite know what everything was but that was incredibly fun. Love the voices and talking, it made the game.
nice space ship management game, the concept is super cool, feels kinda confusing but good job!
I loved the use of voice as music, though i had to turn it off for the 2nd time I played because I wanted to understand the mechanics.
I love it! Glad I'm not the only person using mouth sounds. ^_^
This has a lot of stuff going on and I felt a bit lost at the beginning, but overall it was pretty fun. I'm not sure I'd call that music, but it was quite funny :)
I didn't expect watching my ship go down in flames would be so entertaining. Music and sound are top notch!
Loved it!Just great!
Murphi's law:"If anything can go wrong, it will."
I love the concept of this. May need a better GUI so you can tell exactly what problems are happening (e.g. air levels), but fantastic otherwise!
HA, that was pretty funny. I did mute your song but I listened to it a few times. :) I love some of the random events, especially leaving your burrito in the microwave. I was super confused constantly though. I just kept randomly flipping switches, but that's what I usually do in an emergency. Great Job!
~AUTHOR~ Thank you all for your wonderful feedback!
Because of all of the great feedback, I've released a POST COMPO edition where I fixed some GUI things, adding another few hours to my time (of course don't count that stuff in when you judge...)
A few notes:
1) Yeah, it was supposed to be overwhelming ... sort of a debug wtf is going wrong with your ship under extreme pressure.
2) There's no direct indicator of your health or oxygen, this is so you are forced to look at a console to get feedback. I wanted tension between looking at consoles and not being able to see what's going on in the rest of your ship. Tunnel vision! All consoles show your health and the ship's oxygen.
This was awesome and you have warmed that cold black lump of coal I call a heart
LOL, very fun, and poopy, and the audio was voice...tastic?
Very enjoyable.
And I sucked at it.
Picked at IndieGames.com! Good job!

Pretty hard to stay alive. Very cool concept. One of the most innovative games I've seen for LD27.
Just perfect. I buy it for both my Macs, My PS3 and my XBox, my PS Vita, my iPod, my girlfriends iPhone and my son's iPad. I'll buy it from Steam and GOG. I'll fund it 71 times on Kickstarter. I'll bully my mother into buying it too.
this is AMAZING
at first I was a bit put off by the voice tutorials but man, this is great
loved it
solid game as well
nicely done, one of my favorites :)
Best "music" ever :DD
I got a bit lost at first with all the options, but once you start the engine and chaos ensues it gets really fun.
Great work!!
COMMENT: You'll figure it out! :D Man, that was stupendous! Really good job!
A bit hard to understand what's wrong and how to fix it.
Other than that it's a good and amusing game! The background song is very good, but might be less so after playing more than I did.
I loved the "Remember to work together, as a space team, except you're alone"
That was great, don't know how many other people got the reference.
Very clever. Felt like FTL for just a little. Would be nice to clean up the poo. I thought the fire extenguisher could do that, but alas it slowed me down instead. Very neat idea!
Nice game! :)
It took me 3 tries to understand how I could heal my self... but I was still burned to death... >_<
After some time, I started to understand what I was supposed to do and how... then I started to have lots of fun! (though I found quite fun to see the ship burning... xD)
Anyway, I only got to stage 2, so I probably still don't quite understand your game (I never even fired a potato through the weapon system...).
My main complaint was about the fire extinguisher... I couldn't really tell where it was extinguishing. But seems like you fixed it on the post compo.
I'll definitely play the post compo later! :D
Nice! Seems little bit inspired by FTL and that's positive :-) I think the GUI is just too chaotic (for 10s based game-play) but I used to it after a while. Main song is cool so as game mechanics.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Awesome! Really freaking overwhelming, but super cool : ]
