I couldn't get the HTML5 version working on LD. There is a copy on Itch, see link below to play the game... Thanks!

You’re the pilot of a salvage freighter with nerves of steel and fuel to burn. Instead of chasing rocks across the galaxy, you’ve parked at the most dangerous scrapyard in existence: just outside the event horizon of a black hole.
Here, every asteroid and mineral shard tumbles into reach—if you can grab them before they, and you, get pulled into oblivion.
Your ship’s automatic mining laser rips apart asteroids. Shattered chunks of iron and rarer elements swirl around you. Collect enough to fill your hold, then hyperjump to the Proxima Processing Station to cash in your haul and refuel.
Every run is a gamble:
Too slow and the horizon pulls you in.
Too fast and you burn precious fuel.
Too greedy and your heavy cargo drags you closer to destruction.
Spend your earnings on faster drives, tougher shields, more powerful lasers, and advanced extractors to survive longer and harvest rarer elements. But remember—the black hole doesn’t play favorites.
How long can you ride the edge before it swallows you whole?
Controls
Movement
WASD – Steer ship (screen directions)
Up / Down Arrows – Adjust warp speed (2.2 is balance point)
Systems
SPACEBAR – Hyperjump to processing station (sell cargo + refuel)
ESC – Open/close menu
How to Play
Balance warp speed:
Warp 2.2 = equilibrium.
Below 2.2 = pulled in.
Above 2.2 = escaping (but drains fuel fast).
Mine asteroids:
Laser locks onto the nearest asteroid in front.
Break them apart into collectible mineral chunks.
Collect resources:
Fly through debris clouds to gather iron and rarer minerals.
Survive:
Collisions and mass drag you toward the horizon.
Run out of fuel, and warp speed bleeds off.
Hit 0 clicks, and you’re gone.
Trade & upgrade:
Hyperjump to sell cargo.
Spend credits on new ships, engines, lasers, and extractors.
Each run gets you closer to mastering the abyss.
