Crash your escape pod into ships, collect space dosh and try to survive as long as possible in this high-octane shooter!

The plan was simple - crash your escape pod into a ship, steal some stuff, shoot bad guys and leave...

What you forgot to account for was that crashing two space vehicles might destabilize their life support systems a tiny bit.

Get as much space dosh as you can before adversities ultimately end your joyride. How long can you endure?

The game ends when you get shot to death or the ship you're on decompresses.

*I usually have longer descriptions for my games, but I seriously don't know what else to say this time around. This game is a sort of farewell to Game Maker Studio, as I'm planning to move on to Godot for my future endeavors. I barely managed to get this game out, but I'm extremely proud of what I managed to create. I hope you enjoy playing it at least half as much as I enjoyed making it!*
