Spaced-Out by Angelbait
SMASH! You're sweet space rig smacked square into a small planet your sensors could barely see! See the thing about space, is that its black, and the thing about unlit things in space, is that they're black...
Instead of dealing with faulty sensors you realize that hunks of flying metal are falling all around you, you NEED to get off this planet before you get crushed; thankfully the rocks of death are made of something you can use to fix your ship! In your small but focused database of blueprints there are buildings of note, you quickly get to work building factories to refine the space metal, and warehouses to hold more and more of the refined metals.
Whats it going to take to get you off this planet? Can you survive the falling metal crushing your robot frame and the buildings you worked so hard on?
Or are you too... SPACED-OUT!?
Enjoy our game, we're pretty excited about how it turned out <3

I liked the concept but I couldn't figure out how to do anything. I picked up a meteor and built a refinery but then I couldn't seem to pick up any others?
I think I'm missing something.
I'd have liked the entire planet being bright - it was often difficult to see things on the dark side and the switch between the two sides was very dramatic.
I did like how you got a warning as to where the meteors would collide, that sort of gives you an indicator for where to go next and if the gameplay were ironed out it could be used as both a thing to seek (as in "I'm traveling to the next meteor as fast as I can") and a thing to avoid (as in "I don't want to get struck by the meteor").
Also, the intro tutorial page was really nice! I wonder what would happen if you made a game that used that kind of art style? Keep it up guys!
Good luck, Don't forget to take a look at ours if you don't mind and see what it's like when we just focused on graphics in this game jam!
