Neat idea but with some conveyance issues. I wish I didn't need to use the map to find the next combat zone and the modal switches between your normal engines and the locked in place but can teleport feels odd. At the very least I'd want both motion controls to be mouse controlled, or just have teleport always be the control scheme for movement, especially when there are enemies you can't kill without it.
It's cute to have the open world but I didn't realize right away that I didn't need to actually fight things outside the combat zones.
