About

This is the story of Lonesome Steve and his journey to deep space.

Due to his home planet reaching critically low resources, he is tasked to venture out into the deep, unexplored and unforgiving space.

You, as the player, have to manage and balance 3 resource types: Oxygen, Food and Fuel.

How to play

1. Start the game ;)
2. Enjoy
3. Like, share and subscribe

Jokes aside:

Main Menu

The main menu provides the basic functionality such as loading existing saves and options.

Navigation

Once a game is started, you will have the task of navigating the ship trough a selection of 4 randomly generated planets.
In the navigation you are presented with a selection of 4 randomly generated planets.

To proceed you have to select one of these to approach and scan it for it's resources.
From there, you have the option to either fly to the scanned planet or to approach (and scan) another.
Approaching the selected planet removes another, not scanned, planet from the list of available targets.
Each action consumes resources.
When selecting a scanned planet, you will land on it.

Gathering resource

Once landed on a planet, you are able to gather any of the available resources.
Be mindful though, as gathering resources is not free.

After stocking up, you have to fly off again, venturing deeper into the Unknown.

Winning Condition

Landing on the 21 planet.
If any of the resources reaches 0, you lose.
