Nice little game you've made!
Once I saw that it looked like an FTL ship I kind of knew what to do, so that was smart. Sometimes I failed for no apparent reason though, my systems seemed fine. Are there areas where you really, really souldn't let the alien thing inside?
Graphics were very cute, and everything seems coherent. The doors leading up/down were a little harder to spot, but it works since you can easily navigate via the room overlay. Love that you went for pixel art, I'm a big fan of it too.
Some kind of music would be nice. Even something simple like the theme from "The thing" would have worked I think. The sound you had in the beginning sounded like a good start. However, I totally get that it wasn't prioritized :)
I wish that I could restart the game, or at least skip the intro when the alien gets stuck. Since one round is only 3 minutes it wouldn't be a big deal if I had to restart it a couple of times. Got to play to the end (well, a failure is an end too, right?) about 3 out of 7 runs. Had really fun with it, so good job!

Thank you very much. The frog will break a random special room at each destination.
If it reaches the Pod (opposite side of the start position) then it escaped !!
Thank you for this hugh review.
As the game is a bit mechanical, I have added a informative screen when you start playing.
Pressing Escape and Back to Menu you can replay in the same run :)
Breaking the pilot will slow the timer !
Breaking the engine or the oxygen will deplate the air at different speed !
Breaking the camera room will remove the room status from the Tab extension !
Breaking the Gravity slows you down !
