Space Escape is a resource management game based in a space ship.

You play as Lyra Nova a sentient humanoid robot that was created and works for an organisation called NexaCorp.

Your protocol requires you to go resource gathering and trading for several might years, after which you are to return to base. During your voyages you gather great self awareness and you're growing dissatisfied with this lifestyle.

During your last return to base you discover that NexaCorp are onto the fact you're considering defying them and they've decided this will be your last mission before you are decommissioned.

This makes you contact a mercenary and they tells you they are willing to take you out of the reach of NexaCorp if you can pay enough credits.

Your mission is to collect the required credits before the end of your current mission.

How to play

The aim of the game is to travel between planets gathering resources using your automated drones to resell for credits. Resources range from fuel cells needed for your ship and various valuable crystal materials. You can the either sell or transport them to another planet.

Unfortunately I cannot progress :(

Every time I start the game, I get some random arrangement of planets it seems, but I can't interact with them. I then go to this screen: Where I can place blocks. However at some point the grid is full and I can't place any more blocks.

Is there any way to progress from this point, because it seems like I'm hardlocked here and have to restart?

I tried placing as many as I can, to see if it had some trigger on the number of blocks, but wasn't able to progress.

Any help would be appreciated - I love resource management games and would like to play yours :)

Hope you had a good jam, give my game a try if you like!

as mentioned before me, the gameplay mechanics arent very clear, game gets stuck without any indication on how to continue so unfortunately there isnt much to experience.

One of the devs here. Thanks for trying the game peeps and the civil comments. Will def try your games. We ran out of time and resources so the game is couple minutes long. The other developer has a more completed game on their PC. We plan to upload the finished game to itch.io in some days.

The intended core game loop is to select a planet(s) to go (was cut out) and manage inventory by sending drones to collect gems, fuel, drones which can then be kept or sold (pretty much completed but was left out of this version due to time concerns).

We had a good jam and I had fun learning Godot in like 2 days. :) Have fun reviewing games!
