Theme interpretation
The plan was to create a metroidvania/survival hybrid game. The player would walk, float, reverse gravity through a world of abandoned spacestations full of exploration, mysteries, and enemies. However the only way to get from one spacestation to another was through cryosleep in your ship. The player would have to remember to stock the ship with enough food, water, fuel, and oxygen to survive the journey, because once in cryosleep the player would lose all control until the ship made it to the next station. They would watch there according resource meters slowing drain, and if they didn't have enough of all their resources they would die in cryosleep on the ship, restarting them to the very beginning of the game.
tldr:
metroidvania aspect - world exploration of spacestations and alien enemies to fight
survival aspect - resource gathering to survive space travel

I like the idea, hoping you will finish it, the first "storyboard" screens look interesting.
Game mechanics and idea is really amazing!!
Thanks for making it . Feel free to check our work too.
Funny game, i like the gravity mechanic a lot! You could probably remove the jumping and force the player to reverse gravity in order to "jump". Keep up the good work :D!
'UnityPlayer.dll was not found' system error when trying to run!
Thanks for letting us know! The problem should be fixed now.
No problem! Enjoyed playing it. The gravity reversal mechanic was well executed. Great job!
Feel free to check ours out too. :)
