Save The Humans! (Both Themes)

In Save The Humans, you play as a spaceship, flying through the Earth's remains. Humanity's home world has been destroyed, and it is up to you to navigate through its remains, collect ship ugrades and venture towards a new planet. And if you're lucky, you might pick up a few survivors along the way to help further grow the seed of mankind's survival.

Just be careful of the debris...

Controls:

A: Move Left (double tap to dash)
D: Move Right (double tap to dash)

You must find: FluxCore, Ion Core, Power Cell, NavChip, Bubble Shield

Save The Humans is the first game I've finished, thanks to the nature of the Ludum Dare.

Grats on your first game! The flying is really fun and I like collecting things while dodging asteroids. The first time I played I think I finished the game in 30 seconds... the spawning of items is pretty random?

Yeah, the spawning is random. For increased difficulty I could have increased the odds of the asteroids spawning more than the items, but I ran out of time.
