You play as a man fed up of living on an asteroid, find your way to the edge of the asteroid belt, and to a real planet.
I originally had a much grander game in mind, but then I hit some problems and couldn't get it finished in time, so instead I ripped it down to a simple game to get something submitted. Check the about page for more about what I was aiming for. What was implemented is mainly just commented out and left unused.
Note the builds are untested off my own machines, they should work, but let me know if not.
Interesting, the idea to navigate the asteroid belt. It took me a while to get used to the "mouse pushes away", and I couldn't quite figure out how to control acceleration, but those obstacles were surmountable.
You need to put a bit more explanation IN the game about what you were supposed to be doing - a small text as the game begin "find your way to the planet", would suffice. As it is right now, I spent quite some time messing with the X asteroid until I figured out it was just for show!
requires unstable dev-branch gcc 4.6 to run due to unstable glibc2.14 dep so can't test, sorry. (i'm on stable 4.5 and a 4.6 upgrade would be pretty dangerous to do on this system right now)
@caranha: Yeah, I would have had far more if I had gone with my original plan for the game, but unfortunately the physics stuff didn't work out well towards the end, so I had to massively simplify the game - it was originally going to be an RTS-like game where you had to colonise asteroids to build up enough resources to build a spaceship to get to the planet. There was quite a bit of explanation for that, but unfortunately it all had to be scrapped.
On Linux 64-bit here. I see the splash screen and then after a while it exits with this:

@Jhelle: Weird, what platform?
@Raptor85: No worries.
