Colonize the galaxy by locating and crash-landing on other planets. It's super simple, somewhat fun, and not at all entirely unlike anything resembling my last game.

You only get 10 seconds of fuel and you will need every drop of it to reach distant stars. You must land on an empty planet 3 times before you can re-spawn there. Enemy planets will need to be cleared off first. The game will save locally so don't assume you have to beat the whole thing in one session. Note that nothing special happens when you colonize all 44 planets. Just be proud.

This game was written in JavaScript using HTML5 and runs in most modern browsers, however Chrome gets the best FPS. Hopefully the sound works for you. I composed the song in 10 minutes using Frooty Loops. It's my best one yet. I hope you get sick of it.

Pro-Tip: When making the long journey to another star system it helps to turn around just before you arrive so you can slow down and make course corrections. Don't forget to make use of the large map by holding TAB and zoom in and out with your mouse wheel.
