This is a really neat horror game that pairs humour with horror very well. The flavor of the game - pun intended - about retrieving an alien meal that turns out to be more dangerous than intended - is a great twist on the space horror genre. It also makes for a more unique premise as well!
The best thing about this game is the disorienting zero-grav mechanics. They made me dizzy, but that is kind of the point and it captured the out-of-control feeling of trying to navigate in space well. I think that the ending to dispose of the alien played with these mechanics in a fun way as well.
For feedback, as has already been mentioned, some more direction with guiding players would have been useful, as the ship itself was fairly large. I had no problems with this as you did add signs on floors, but players may struggle with it. Also, a checkpoint may have been helpful for players as well.
I do like the additional way to kill the alien as well. Games with multiple ways to solve problems are very appealing, and also make players feel like they can be creative with how they approach things. Really encourage you to keep on creating games - I think a version of this that was more fleshed-out could really nail the space horror experience. Can't wait to see what you come up with in future!
