LD57

Story

You woke up from cryosleep on a wrecked space station, with no way to contact anyone and just a small short-range exploration ship in the dock.

Venture into the depths of space, explore the nearby asteroid field, gather resources you need to rebuild your communications equipment.

Each time you run out of fuel you will automatically return back to the station. Upgrade your ship, collect more scrap and use it to craft what you need.

Objectives

Gather enough scrap to craft the long range communicator and call for help.

Gameplay

You start at your space station, where you will be able to craft upgrades for your ship once you gather resources for it.

Clicking Launch will put you in your ship inside the asteroid field. Locate resources using the radar, approach them, turn on your collector and click resources in range to collect them.

Once you run out of fuel, you will be automatically returned to the station, where you will be able to craft upgrades and launch again.
