I like the premise of the game and I also appreciated that you added those controls to give a feeling of floating in space (even though I did have some trouble navigating).
I don't mind the idea of the maze but it was just a tad too long for me. Maybe add some checkpoints so taking a wrong turn isn't so punishing? Or just make it shorter?
I did manage to power through it though and reached the generator room where the generator was missing. I didn't know what to do next ( and really didn't want to go back all the way through the maze again to see if there was anything else back there) so I quit.
I think with a few modifications this has potential and could be great.
I was enjoying myself up to the maze. The story was cool and grabbing the flashlight I thought maybe I was being set up for some puzzle with it, but wow that maze combined with the lack of vision and slippery controls. I was genuinely scared going through the maze, maybe this could be a springboard for something horror-esque.
I liked the lighting effects. The movement was frustrating. I think the spin could stop faster and that would make traversing the environment more enjoyable.

I really liked the initial narrative setup and the vibe in the beginning. The movement controls were a bit hard to get used to but it did give you a sense of floating around in space was was nice! Then I got to THE MAZE... wow, that was hard to navigate and quite disorientating. Had to give up there as I got too frustrated. But overall its got some really nice potential and I'd love to see where the game goes. Nice job regardless of the maze, well done on the jam :)
I've spent 20 minutes in this tiring labyrinth. I questioned why I have to do this. To be fair the atmosphere was 5/5. The controls really made me feel like I was in space because I had to learn to move. The art was really cool too. Unfortunately my attention span is too short to play through this game because of the labyrinth.
