Galactic Backpacker

As a galactic backpacker, you want to see the universe. Admittedly most of your planetary stays are shortlived due to the hostile environment. To catch a lift to your next planet, you'll need to collect gems to pay your way... but hurry, they have a launch schedule and they won't wait for you!

Fly around and collect gems (by touching them) and carry them to your backpack, which is waiting by the spaceship. You can only carry a few at a time, so you'll need a few trips. Once you have enough gems, go to the spaceship to secure your ride.

Keyboard controls:

• left/right arrow (or A/D) to move sideways
• up arrow (or W) to thrust
• space to fire

STATUS: This is very much a work-in-progress. No enemies/threats yet. You can see the gems but you can't collect them. 😢 For now, you'll just be able to fly around and play with the gun... even though there's nothing to shoot. 😬😆

Thanks to @spectral_doppler for the awesome music... and equally I'm gutted that I ran out of time before I could add it! Come back after the jam and I'll have added this and implemented more of the game.

Claude AI helped with code architecture and some code. No other AI involvement.
