Great game, I would like to see more of it. The game was a little hard, but I managed to beat it. I think it would be possible to release this game fully once you polish it up a bit. I think you were a great team, you should really make more together.
Besides that I believe while polishing you should try and see what you can do with the enemies, if it's where they're placed, or just with their code. What I found was that I was usually just standing still and shooting at them from above/below. This works, but I believe that you can improve on this. I also believe that you're making more for the game (after they leave the lab?), if so I'm sure it would be a nice idea to add in more enemies, possibly some bosses/mini bosses, new environments, and possibly some new 'puzzles' too.
You all did a great job with the time you had, hopefully you learned some new things too!
