Wayward Galaxy

"Small and alone in a vast universe."
Start out as a small spaceship on a desolate planet...
Learn to fly by controlling your thrusters, collect gems and warp your way through the galaxy.
Discover strange worlds, cobble together some parts and adjust your ship literally on-the-fly.
A new and different galaxy is brought to life each time you start a new game.

Loose parts that do not belong to any ship can be added as your own.
In Paused Mode you can also select the "Map" icon and choose to warp to nearby planets.
Can you reach your home planet ?

When the window is created, it is too far off the top of the screen, meaning the top bar and top left section of the game can't be seen. Is there a fix?
During the game (not on the title screen) you can press F4 to toggle full screen. Does that help?
How do you fire rocket launchers? I haven't been able to use them :O
In Paused Mode, click on an enemy's ship parts and they will be targeted when you're nearby.

This was a fun experience. It's a good twist on the concept of building your ship from parts like Captain Forever. I rather enjoyed swordfighting with spaceships. I got home once. Barely even saw any items, just swords and a rocket launcher. I'll have to try a few more times and see if I find anything else.
I did get one bug which ruined a save file. Something to do with spawning inside another ship, I think...

Thanks for letting me know. I released a small update which I think should help. I could just prevent spawning into other ships but I think it's kind of interesting that it can happen, it seems realistic.
As far as weapons there are just swords for short range and missiles for long range, although you can improve them by putting the energy parts next to them.
Thanks! I understand if you don't want to spend a lot more time of this game but... I noticed that it can break if you press space while the animation for flying to another planet is happening.
Also if you hit space while still dragging a ship part it gets suspended in the air and can never be used again.
