You're a monster inside a space ship, how fast can you kill them?

This is my 5th Ludum Dare and I think this is my best entry so far. Tutorial exists inside game. I will probably export the game soon to Linux, i'm just to tired right now. Hope you enjoy it! Any kind of feedback is appreciated.
Thanks again to my friend Xoomii who did the amazing voice acting!

Was expecting less at the first sight, but it has great mechanics and made me looking forward for more levels. Maybe the boss should be only played at the end though and insert some limition to the amount of attempts so we have to restart the game all over again if we die :p

The controls are very interesting and fun to use. You feel like a monster invading a ship and no one can see you. I found it very interesting and fun, Congratulations!

Music was a bit repetitive
Didn't find the dash ability to be too useful, I couldn't get it to do much damage but that could be bc im bad at video game

First, some issues: The audio wasn't very pleasant on the ears. The explosion effect was very piercing and the music was a bit tedious. The quips were a nice touch, and added some humor to the game, but they got repetitive pretty quickly; might have been better to have them come up even more rarely.
Finally, the dashing mechanic didn't seem to do enough damage to any of the people, and I ended up just waiting for my explosion to recharge most of the time. Dashing only seemed useful at the boss.

Thankfully, with the explosion mechanic, I was still able to have a lot of fun with this title.

I liked the different control scheme. Cool idea, and racing against the clock made it engaging. It was a little odd/tricky that whenever you went to a new room, the monster would try to speed to its last mouse position (it makes sense, but something to think about if you expand this game). Also impressive you had a tutorial. Nice job!

Good to see a nice UI, I really liked the font, too. The little details were overall very good, but the gameplay needs some tweaking. It felt a bit slow.
