post-jam changes

  • moved the dust particle emitter under the plane of the drone, so they will be lit by lights and thruster exhaust (apparently sometime at the last day, they were moved up mistakenly)

The Last Ones

In the year 6 trillion the last remnants of humanity have gathered in a ring station around a black hole. Stars are a long time gone and only referred to in stories and dissertations concerning the matters of history. In order to stay alive the humans of the future need energy, but with no star in sight they use their black hole to convert the small chunks of matter, that didn't got torn apart by the ever expanding space-time.

Remote controlled drones are used to push and pull high energy rocks into the black hole. Not many personnel with the needed know-how is left. Now you are pushed in front of the control panel. At least your foreman left his sticky notes at the console, but:

Can you handle the job?

  • Use the w, a, s, d, e, q, and shift keys on your state of the art space-drone-input-device
  • Use the space key to grab onto the rocks, so you don't lose them
  • Collect the green energetic rocks to feed the black hole (other asteroids won't be enough!)
  • DON'T overuse the booster! This isn't all fun and games. The existence of all of humanity is on the line.

In Short

A game about space, asteroids, your drone and a black hole

uhh I like the ship and its controls and the look in general. I wish there was a map or hole indicator tho since I got lost a few times

I really like what you have here. The darkness of the game really adds to the focus on the heat.

Fantastic job 👏

Im just looking over the games Ive played before voting ends and this was one of the first I thought of. Im a bit surprised to see so few ratings. I genuinely enjoyed this one
