I think this game would improve a lot with some instructions. For instance, i did not know that i also had to hold X until the “searching” label lights all the way up to white, and i thought that all i had to do is press it, finding nothing at all.
Navigation is also hard to wrap my mind around. Seems to be some kind of 3D level shown in just 2D screen in each of the four directions, and i never know where i am going. Unfortunately, could not find the ship.
Nevertheless, i found the art nice and the creature crawling up to you is a really creepy touch that holds well.
