Pretty impressive that this was made in just a few short days. I like the references to "The Thing", and even though it is a 2D game, there were two occasions where this actually made me jump as I wasn't expecting the screen to jump towards me. Great job!
I would love to see this concept expanded and have a larger ship area to explore. If possible, a 3D version of this at some point would also be good, as I think the monster chase would be cool from that perspective.
