Poor planning has put you in a tough situation: your spacecraft is nearly out of power and an abandoned derelict freighter is your only chance for survival. Can you overcome the tricky obstacles that await you and collect enough power to make it out alive?
Note from the developer:
I am obsessed with platformers and the minute details of how they control and I wanted to create a game that features the things I love most in the genre:
a focus on exploration in a large non-linear world
simple and intuitive controls that are hard to master
movement that highlights both momentum and pixel precision
I spent countless hours hand-crafting challenges and tweaking the physics for this game until they felt perfect to me, and I hope you enjoy what I've created.
