Your space station and the last survivors of humanity are in danger!

You are the best pilot humanity has to offer and you get into your trusted ship to save everyone. The fuel cells are broken and you must now collect the resources to keep the space station powered until the engineers can find a permanent solution. As you're collecting the resources a huge signal appears on your radar. Can you single handedly take down an enemy mothership? Guess we will see....

Legend:

###### Gold Orbs: Fuel. Collect these and bring it back within the shield radius of the space station to drop it off.
###### Blue Orbs: Temporary speed boost!
###### Red Orbs: Heals you for a small amount.
###### If you are within the radius of the space station shield, every 10 second you will be healed.

Enemy Ship Types

###### Pawn: Standard assault craft armed with a simple canon
###### Rook: Large siege cruiser equipped with a long range cannon and a front facing shield
###### Knight: Fast medium sized interceptor armed with a double barreled cannon
###### Bishop: Full support unit that heals nearby allied ships. Equipped with a full bubble shield
###### Queen: Large capital class ship armed with quad cannons and a massive shield. GOD HELP YOUR SOUL!!!

Controls

###### Control the ships movement with WASD
###### Control the direction of the ships main gun with your mouse cursor
###### Control the flight path of the ship missiles with your mouse cursor
###### Side shields can be maneuvered to block incoming shots from enemies
###### Your base will slowly lose energy every second
###### The space around your base (shown by the malfunctioning shield) will heal the player ship every 10 seconds, but will largely drain the base power supply
###### Search out energy and return it to your base to avoid a full power down
###### Survive 5 minutes until the final boss arrives (Good Luck)

I just wanna go again one more time...! The overall feel of the projectiles and movement trails are really satisfying to feel, and the music is really great!

Haha really solid entry, this has one of my favorite game loops so far, the gameplay is really fun and the voice acting adds to the immersion. I feel like this could be turned into a real game with more mechanics and more polishing overall. really well done!
