What starts as a simple day on the job as a space station maintenance ship, quickly becomes a vicious battle. With no guns, you must use your equipment in inventive methods to defend the station!

Made in Game Maker: Studio, art editing in paint.net, and sound effects from sfxr.

It's a bit short, and lacking in the combat side, but I think the mechanics are pretty solid. Also is a bit slow. I intended for it to ramp up very quickly after the tutorial, but wasn't able to.

Changelog:

0.1- Fixed a common crash, added additional keybinds.
