Thanks for the great feedback! I think you nailed it! I was aiming for 45 minutes of gameplay but somehow 45 minutes turned into the speedrun time, I know this is not what you want for a jam game and will certainly hurt the games rating, my hope was that it would be engaging enough for atleast a few people to beat it fully.
Not being able to leave after deciding to stay is something I was unsure how to handle, in the end I decided that staying was one of the endings, fairly anticlimactic I know, but at least the spaceship is fun.
Big props for sticking through to the end! hopefully that means it felt worth it to keep playing!
