Known Errors
     
  • The game is impossible to complete within the time limit. Periodically the game reports "punctures" on the hull that must be repaired to delay the spaceship destruction. However even if you visit rooms explicitly mentioned in these reports, no holes can ever be found.

  • Printing a map removes any robot from the room (the sprite is still there, but does not move).
