Search the system for the source of the signal
- WASD to steer
- Space to ping
When you find the source, you can decode the signal

We picked a pretty ambitious scope while also challenging ourselves to our first 3D game, and that turned out to be _a lot_. Some ideas we would have liked to get to but didn't have time:
- In phase 1, the enemy AI would see and chase the player if they got too close
- In phase 2, enemies would occasionally pass through the system and attack you if they see you
- We thought it would be really cool if you could enter in and out of systems to gather resources that would aid you in searching for the signal
- General graphical polish, sound effects, etc. Just all the assets we didn't have time to make
