CHECK OUT THE PLAY GUIDE (PDF) ABOVE - LOADSA INFO!! :-)
You start off as a captain in charge of a small spaceship. Over time you are able to upgrade the ship (adding new components) if you gather the necessary resources. You'll also be given missions to carry out by mission control. You will encounter a number of hazards along the way and be set various challenges, finalizing in a major mission that will test your piloting, mining and construction skills to the max.
Notes about PostCompo version - game content is the same as original compo version. - major performance improvement - major collision detection improvement (it's harder as a result!) - in-game help system improved - can now pause the game :-) - various other bits of tweak and polish
Please submit your ratings based on the original compo version!
Wow this is a lot of content for just 48 hours. It would help if the tutorial was a little bit more detailed and had the ability to pause so you could take time to read the console, but on the whole a nice fun game, good job :)
What an achievement. This game's right up my street. My only complaint was that I found it hard to tell if something was a pickup or an enemy. Lots of trial and error, but really rewarding. Lots of depth. Please continue working on this. :)

And I'm not reading a manual tonight, sorry again ! XD
Looks like quite a deep game. I played it for a few minutes, but got confused about which sprites I needed to shoot, and which I needed to collect. A manual for your game - nice! :-)
Seems like a cool game with a lot of content potential, but it all seems to move too fast, and having to type in codes to move to the next level and do stuff, as well as no apparent way to see a full log of the console makes it hard to learn how to play the game.
Hi everyone, I really appreciate your feedback. I got around to creating a "post-compo" version which you can find from the link above, and takes some of your suggestions into account - others I will remember for next compo! :-) Enjoy!
Collecting resources and dodging aliens interested me. If you continue to develop this, I was imagining you're intending to expand this into managing resources somewhat like parts of the ship in Galaxy Trucker and colonizing a planet.
Very impressive for 48 hours. I think there are some ways you could have simplified the game a bit more. I also hope that you continue working on this game.
Fantastic, there is a lot to see here and it's clearly a game that rewards the player for investing with time. Brilliant job with this, can't wait to see more!
