Welcome to Galaxy Express!

You are new employee of Galaxy Express. A delivery service that delivers where no one would ever dare. You can imagine there is not exactly a rush for the position of delivery driver. Galaxy Express delivers all over the galaxy but you are in the branch that takes care of the Vogsphere. Yes. The Vogon planet. But don't worry, in order to reduce employee fluctuation, Galaxy Express decided to use unmanned drones for this planet to avoid Vogon poetry hazards. Drones poses an electromagnetic grip so you can get metal, indestructible delivery packages from a small distance.

About the game

It's something you'd expect for this theme. You deliver packages. But you are driving a cool insect-like drone and there is a destructible environment in the game. The Galaxy Express is paid for delivery only. So the package must be delivered at all costs, nothing else matters.

Warning:
In a highly improbable case, you may not be familiar with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. If that's the case you may miss a subtle humor in this game, I'll recommend reading the book or at least watching a movie first :)

Post jam updates

Since the rating period is over, I have done a couple of small fixes:
- Receiving device is indestructible now. Destroying it wasn't part of the game mechanics and it led only to frustration.
- Removed decorative crate - it led to confusion and it actually worked as a real one because of a forgotten default value
