before i start, just wanna say, i appreciate you attending your game and polishing it. not every jammer does that and i appreciate the follow through.
i think i would like to see more computer roasting zel. i think the height of this game, for me, was watching the mad lad rip into her in what felt like the most deadpan manner. I also think an alternate puzzle (randomized when entering the repair screen) would be nice. maybe a maze that shuffles every so often. or just a timed maze. or maybe a sped up version of space invaders? could also have computer roast the player whenever (or if) they fail a certain amount of times.
maybe something that affects future stages and how they're accomplished? like if you repair with minimal mistakes it make the next zone easier and you get more time at the end? more mistakes could effect cryo-pod efficacy? or more mistakes could make the baseline difficulty for the puzzles higher?
maybe even a mini-venture where you can collect food using the nearly completely unused airlock zone? looks like there could be a thing there. yet there's not. could make earlier zones last a couple days or something to benefit from needing to gather food/resources? it would also allow you to give the player the means to potentially get better repair materials that may be buried in random asteroids.
