Space Delver is a Ludum Dare Jam result developed by Jan Szczepanik-Dzikowski and Anil Demir. Programming done by Jan, graphics done by Anil. Rest is done collectively.

It is a game of space exploration, mining and trading. It is playable but unfinished. Our aim was higher than what we achieved here. We want to go on developing and release a full game later. Let's list the features that are in the game right now and the features we planned but couldn't manage to implement.
