That was a pretty cool little game. Some good funny dialogue especially.
Also, I really dig your graphic style (in this game and the Biggles one you did), but I do think Paul could do with a walk cycle.
Also, a short line of dialogue explaining why...
Spoiler
the robots won't follow you through the sad door
...wouldn't go amiss. And...

Not in the one I got.
But overall, well done. I enjoyed that.
Thanks! I did actually make a walk cycle but when I saw it in action it looked kind of strange considering how lo-fi the rest of the game was and thought it suited the mood better to have him just glide oddly.
I actually didn't consider the robots thing for some reason, I made them stop following you there just to make it easier for me to work out some of the cutscenes in that room and didn't consider that the player might see this as a glitch! I'll try to work on that later today.
Also yes I put in the wrong readme (some kind of font one I think) so I'm updating the .rar file now. Anyway, the tracks used in order of appearance were:
Portofino 1
Twilight In Turkey
Lady Gaylord
Portofino 2
Gmgm 1a
Night And Day
Bumbing this to say this got reviewed in PC Zone magazine and included on the cover cd there (see here (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=30429.msg516512#msg516512)}, as well as being a freeware pick on indiegames.com (here (http://www.indiegames.com/blog/2009/09/freeware_game_pick_paul_moose.html)), on rockpapershotgun.com (here (http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/09/07/papercrafty-paul-moose-in-space/)), and on jayisgames.com (here (http://jayisgames.com/archives/2009/09/weekend_download_101.php)), as well as winning second place in the Gamejolt axioms contest. so give it a shot if you haven't yet!
I really enjoyed your game. I escpecially like the relation between Paul and his robots.
It's pretty cool that you work with those unique visuals styles.
