Ranked from 19 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
The planet explodes after the mining operation is complete, giving you only 2.5 minutes to escape. At the same time, the modules attached to your platform gradually break apart, so both your remaining time and your equipment are constantly counting down.

This one's amazing.  One of my favorites.  I love how you can customize your ship, and then fly it.

Really fun game.  I haven't beaten it yet, but I have it saved so I can come back to it later!  Great job!

I loved this game, it's really well polished and challenging. It took me a bit long to realize that "RAM" was actually "Ram" instead of "Rapid Access Memory", which had me a little confused. And the dynamic music helps immersion a lot.

RAM is Random Access Memory 😭✌️

Shoot, I knew I had to look it up to make sure... 😶

An incredibly fun game! It's very polished and had me coming back for several attempts. When I can spare time to play for longer, I'll return to try to clear the stage. My strategy became just spamming turrets in every slot, because in my opinion firepower is everything, and boosters make the ship too difficult to control.

A fun, solid take on booster games. The build options for the spaceship really adds to general experience.

The controls feels great, i liked building my little spaceship, the level is challenging but it's very fun to try to avoid breaking your entire ship in a few obstacles

Oooooh! I LOVE the art style! This reminds me of galaxy trucker but you get to actually pilot it. Super fun and pretty challenging but feels fair!

Oh my the loop is so cool. I always love games where you "build" your own ship, this makes so for many gameplaystyles. Thanks for making this cool game!

Why is this actually such an addictave loop. DUDE, this could work as a full release with more content and polish, it's super fun to make your own drill/ship and fly it. great submission, I hope more people find this!
