This game is really, really good at funneling you into its desired path without ever explicitly letting you know it. The only times I’ve gotten lost have been when I see a teleporter or something and gone “hmm, I’m gonna go this way instead” and can’t find my way back.
Finally got the Gravity Suit and Space Jump, so now’s the fun part of these games of “yeehaw time to go everywhere” and, at least in this game in particular, “gonna paint all the corners of the map.”
I’m not actually gonna do that last one. But…maybe.
