Eyeballians are awesome.

Paul Moose in Space World is a bite-sized game made by catmitts. You play as Paul Moose, a moose who has been travelling through space for 5 years searching for extra-terrestrial life until one day he has a strange encounter…

Gameplay
The gameplay in this game is a mixed game. Not straying from its adventure game roots, in Paul Moose in Space World you go around interacting with objects to solve problems in your way.

What is interesting in this game is the ability to take characters with you to use their abilities. This would add a whole new dimension to this game if it weren’t for that fact there are only 2 rooms to play around with this in.

The solutions in this game are quite innovative and interesting, however they are often very obscure. Prepare to constantly check a walkthrough the whole way through this short game. Overall this would have been a lot better if it wasn’t so confusing. But I suppose that’s the cornerstone of the genre.
2.5/5

Story
The story in this game is as complicated as a game this short is expected to be. It is humorous and not much else.
3/5

Characters
There are really only three characters in this game that talk. My favourite was most certainly the sad door. I had no real feelings about Paul Moose – he never really said anything funny. As for that other guy… Wait, what did he do again?

The Eyeballians were very funny characters despite the fact they didn’t use words. I would love to play a game done entirely in hieroglyphs like the ones they used(but not like the ones in catmitt’s Action 52 game.).
4.5/5

Graphics
All of catmitt’s games have unusual graphics, and this one is no exception. The whole thing comes together well. I especially liked the Eyeballians and the scene talking to the president of the world or whatever with all those expressions(although the lighting on those faces were not at all consistent.
4/5

Audio
The music in this game wasn’t very memorable but it was still pretty groovy. There were no sound effects, but this didn’t seem to detract from the experience.
3.5/5

Overall
Paul Moose in Space World is a good game that doesn’t last long. If you like other catmitt games you’ll like this one, although it isn’t as easy as some of those. Worth picking up – just get the walkthrough while you’re at it.
3.5/5

Thanks for the review! Paul Moose was semideliberately written as a complete blank slate because the original game I was gonna do was intended to be less a comedy one or whatever and more a sort of deliberately grotesque thing. So you have this almost expressionless and really stilted character just floating in space the whole time. It was developed pretty quickly, though, so I kind of lost track of that in favour of just some generic adventure game stuff.
I guess if you were floating around in space for 5 years with no human contact you'd lose quite a bit of personality.
