to spice this up a little, since each room has a border or some type, the border could be slowly closing in on you, get a bit of urgency in there. the movement could also be fixed up so that it isn't a keypress for every step
this is a great idea :) I'd look into making just the controls themselves feel fun to play with if you continue with it, the transition from hyperspace is awesome.
I began to lose hope until I found a piece, my only suggestion is coming up with a way to give water when the Player is very thirsty, create some just off screen in a radius, something to cause the Player to feel a constant up down change in safety and anxiety (close to dying)
solid! I really enjoyed this, my only complaint is the pacing being a bit slow at about half way through, I found myself wondering how far I was. It could be as simple as swapping to an interior section, going into a hole in the background that changes to a narrow stretch of cavern, then exiting out of that back into a new section of open cave, both having their own bgm (like the pipes in super mario bros for example). Another thought for escalation is certain types of moving hazards that can break the energy beam line of sight.
