Notes
Shorter iteration cycles would of been beneficial. We would have loved to do something about it but sadly ran out of time.

However, the downloaded game looks different from the screenshots and GIF/YouTube video. I see only the player on the cube, I can shoot, but there are no enemies, no menu, ... When I go close to an edge, the cube rotates (sometimes does not work and i end up in space) and there is "Start" written (in Arial?) on one side of the cube (does not seem to react to anything).
Maybe it's just me or my PC ("glorious Intel graphics master race" :neutral_face:), but just in case check that you have uploaded a correct version of your game. (Similar thing happened to me when I uploaded a zipped game to Itch.io using the same name as a previous upload – instead of using the new version, it reverted to some old version.)
And your game really gave me the sense of exploration.
I ran into a few game breaking bugs, like the character no longer accepting input after changing the face. The long times between dying and playing again. I think you may wanna restart levels at the beginning of being on the planet.
If I could add sound effects to one thing it would be the protagonists gun. It should have a "bzzt" when fired, a "poff" when hitting a "klink" when hitting the shield of a target. Right now it's hard to tell a shot actually hit a target.
