Try to stay in Orbit! With a limited amount of fuel, that can only be replenished by mining Asteroids, you will have to evade both Meteoroids and the most dastardly of enemies, gravity itself.
#### How to play
In short: Point & Click
In long:
* Point your ship with your mouse.
* Press the left mouse button to accelerate into the pointed direction.
* Mine blue asteroids for fuel.
* Evade red meteoroids, the sun and the great purple unknown, or you will die!
* The top left shows you how much fuel you have left, be conservative or you might not be able to move when you need to.
* The line from your ship shows you an approximation of where you will end up if you do nothing.
Try to survive as long as possible. As time goes on, more and more meteoroids will spawn, so watch out and have fun!
(Note: Since there is no sound in space, this game has non either. Totally not because I didn't find the time.)
* Unity 2020.3.31f1
* Visual Studio Community 2022
* Gimp 2.10.30
* Notepad++
* Fuel gauge bigger/closer to the ship (Maybe integrated into it?)
* A bigger fuel tank, so you are not out of it too fast. Maybe a very slow backup engine?
* Highscore for time survived.
* Better ship / meteoroid collision (currently you only die if the meteoroid touches the center of the ship)
* Make the front of the ship more visible
* Startup screen with example movement/game to give an example of how to play.
* Adjust difficulty scaling, the beginning is too easy/there is nothing much to do. Then later on it ramps up a bit too much (personally I've never gotten past 5mins, because some random meteoroid hits you)
