EDIT 14.12.2009 - Just pointing out that while I probably have a number of bugs, the "auto-thrust & limit rotation" mode is not one of them. It is by design.

EDIT 14.12.2009 - added windows exe (finally got pygame2exe working). No content has been added, but the font size changed a bit.

This is the first game I have ever completed.

I wanted to break the normal "exploration" mold, where the goal is to uncover every single square on a map. The following elements were under focus:

* A conscious decision to depart from a comfortable space (leaving home)
* The one-way journey, leading your exploration far from the comfort zone
* Accepting the danger before you

The actual "exploration" probably occurs after the end of the game. You will most likely have to play a few times before reaching all points on the field, this is by design.

The entire game was built on Pygame. You will need Pygame installed and working to play.

A very special thanks goes out to Wolfgang, without whom I might not have stuck with it to the end.
