Our first Ludum Dare Jam game for LD26.
Windows:
Should run on XP SP3+. Might possibly need OpenAL installed if it fails to run.
Linux:
This has been tested on Linux Mint 14 (Cinnamon), you may need to install libSDL-mixer (sudo apt install libsdl-mixer1.2). Run OtherSpace.sh. If no joy, run from a terminal (mono OtherSpace.exe) and copy/paste the output into a comment.

Also, I think the bug was due to system locale settings (number formatting to be precise) - could you let me know what your region is set to in Windows?
BrainSlug: Nothing special to do there ('tis just a homage to the theme that wasn't), the second teleport will send you on your way.
I would love to play a more polished version.
I had a few small issues I'd like to start with: at first you are forced to walk on a pipe, but any pipes from then on you fall through. Some jumps are too spaced apart (http://imgur.com/TLOnCTr this one made me restart the game four times) and finally, 344 288 people killed seems more like a city being flooded, not a planet dying :P
Other than that, I quite liked the game. The graphics were great and having some audio really helps out the game. I loved seeing the multiple layers of the world but I think the teleportation mechanic lends itself to be more 'puzzly' (visually, the levels are broken up, but in truth they are straight-forward).
Great job, though!
