The same thing happened to me as what was mentioned in the comment below, but I see you said in your response that you didn't get to finish the stuff to do with the player dying, so that makes sense, and is totally understandable considering the deadline :3
I was wandering around thinking that it looks really pretty :D It didn't take me too long to find the satellite, and I was quite relaxed since the art is so cute, so I panicked when the space bugs swarmed me since I wasn't expecting it xD I'm pretty sure they killed me almost immediately cos I only got one shot off and the screen went red. I'm not very good at most games though, so I generally expect that I will die, haha.
