Space Explorer by Rock48
Kinda a small game I made, tried to make it as pretty as possible, but ended up losing a whole lot of gameplay in the process, doesn't help that I slept for 18 hours at one time, losing my train of thought when coding but, it happens...
Anyway, the controls are pretty simple
w,s,a,d and use the mouse to move
m opens and closes the starmap, where you can lock on to planets to jump to
You can click and drag the map to navigate it
j activates the warp/jump/hyperdrive sending you to the other planet
Music was created by my buddy Sean, who gave me the rights to use his music in this game, find him here: https://soundcloud.com/skramsax/
Most of the artwork was made by TealDragon, who's tumblr can be found here: http://tealdragon.tumblr.com/
I will be uploading a proper Mac executable in the future, but for now mac and linux users will have to download the love2d framework to run the *.love file -- downloadable at http://love2d.org/
Libraries used
Middleclass - https://github.com/kikito/middleclass
I have LoveFrames and AnAL for windowing and animation, but they are unused -- the windowing is used in an unfinished economy system in the game, hit 'b' near a planet if you want a sneak peek

Yeah, too bad I didn't have time to finish it though :/
Gameplay: Sadly Lacking;
