Tips
  • Do not crawl under the wall on your left in the second room, as there is a space pirate there.
  • The eyes in one room can only see you from below when you are hanging, as they can catch your foot dangling.
  • Crawl left along the crumbling blocks and fire shots to clear your path.
  • After being spotted by a space pirate, rush left into and out of the next room.
  • Wait for the space pirate to give up and turn off the alarm before proceeding.
