An asteroidsalike about too much junk in space!

Story

The buildup of debris from repeated launches is causing a hazard for other space traffic. You have been assigned to keep the debris under control as more and more vessels are launched.

Instructions

Use your ship to collect space debris before it collides and spawns more, smaller pieces.

You will be paid for each piece of junk you safely deorbit.

You are not permitted to deorbit radioactive junk as no-one wants the planet to glow in the dark.

You can mute the music with M, and the sound effects with N. Press ESC to return to the main menu.

You can control your ship with WSAD or the arrow keys. SHIFT fires thrusters to bring you to a halt.

You can activate equipment either by the hotkeys or by clicking on it in the menu. You can purchase new equipment, additional inventory space or ship upgrades by clicking on them in the menu. Mouseover a piece of equipment to see more details.

You can jettison a piece of junk from the inventory by clicking on it. Collect junk by flying in to it. If you have no inventory space available, you will take damage and cause the junk to shatter.

Try and stop junk building up to the point where a collision can set off a chain reaction.

The game ends when you run out of hull integrity due to repeated collisions.

How long can you last? (My top was 7:52)
