PROJECT DESCRIPTION

“A futuristic adventure exploration 2D platformer using tools inspired by the Psyche spacecraft to navigate a new environment. In the far, distant future, after getting lost and crashing into the old Psyche spacecraft, a space delivery driver ends up stranded on the Psyche asteroid. Find elements throughout 7 unique levels to upgrade your tools, collect 8 tungsten pieces to fix up the ship, and get this poor delivery driver back on track!”

Astronaut near crashed relic with text: "Looks like I crashed. This relic must be what I crashed into. Hmm... 'Psyche'? 'NASA'?

A pixelated spaceship flies in space with text: "Those tools I found were really helpful too. Wonder if I can find out more about them some day!
