Plot:
You are the captain of an alien vessel that was transporting humans across the galaxy to be probed. The humans revolted and managed to explosively decompress themselves into space (wearing space suits). You were travelling so fast that they're spread out across several solar systems. Round up as many as you can. Don't let them escape.
How to play:
Click behind the ship to thrust it forward. You are pulled by the planets gravity. When all the humans in that system are collected, a portal to the next solar system will open. Fly into it to progress.
Goal:
Collect as many humans as possible. High scores game. High scores aren't saved to disk. You have 5 lives. Good Luck.
Technical Details:
Written in Python (www.python.org). Requires Pyglet (http://code.google.com/p/pyglet/). Graphics were created in Pixelmator. Sounds were created in as3sfxr. The logo font is Pirulin by Typodermic. Free for commercial use.
It should run on Linux if you have python and pyglet installed, but I haven't had a chance to test it recently. Apologies if it doesn't work for you. Assets are included with the source distribution.
