Another awesome video. The music stopping is a bug when entering the access tunnel. It should start again once you enter the next area. I'll fix that. Love the idea about the shinies or something similar to clue the player in. I toyed with the idea. So it's doable, but the trick is to limit it to still feel like discovery. Anyway, excellent video and thanks for playing the game. I'm going to an update with bug fixes and different sprites for the crew, Paul and the PaulMonster, and more in a few weeks. I'll add the quality of life ideas as well.
You're very close to the end of the demo.
