Collector (TriJam#180)

This game has been created for the TriJam#180 in 2 hours and 40 Minutes.

Based on Feedback during the voting phase, let me give you this HINT:

When the game starts HOLD DOWN the left button for quite some time -- you need about half your fuel tank to accelerate to maximum speed. Then the ship is WAY more agile and the game becomes fast-paced.

This decision was by design to put you in the situation that you are always in need of green debris to keep going. You can play the save game with a sitting duck ship, but then don't blame me, if you can't dodge a fast red debris coming your way :-)

In the year 2078, NASA started to launch Collector Ships to get rid of the overwhelming amount of debris in Earth's orbit.

Those ships should gather all the floating pieces we left up there.

Their strength: They collect everything.
Their weakness: They collect everything.

Try to gather as many recycleable debris as possible to have your fuel refilled through your on-board-refinery, so you can continue gathering.

When you are out of fuel, Autopilot takes over and returns you to earth.

You get paid based on the amount of debris collected.

Take care! Collecting something too big for your storage might crash your ship!
