We are currently running a Kickstarter for Star Matter! You can find it here:

Star Matter is a single-player, 2D, tile based, spaceship physics RPG, where
you pilot a ship that you are able to customize and configure to suit the
current task, your playstyle, or what remains of the ship. Using your design
and piloting ability, you will explore what remains of humanity after the
collapse of Earth to an unknown alien threat. What path will humanity carve
into the far future, if any?

Ship Creation
Your ship is the only thing standing between you and a neuro-clone into a new
body, making it pretty important. As such, you are able to use the resources
gathered from fair or foul means to improve existing ship designs or generate
new ones, as you unlock additional ship components.

Dynamic AI
The AI in Star Matter utilizes ships as well, and they are bound by the same
restrictions as the player. If an AI ship loses some core components, or
thrusters, it will have a harder time posing a threat, or may flee combat.

Cybernetic Abilities
As the player is able to harness their understanding of alien technology, the
player has access to additional abilities that others in the universe do not.
The player may be able to leverage these abilities to gain an advantage in a
bad situation. These abilities currently include creating a gravity well and
assuming control of an enemy ship. These abilities may be improved or expanded
as the players’ understanding of the alien threat grows.

Faction Interactions
There are three primary factions making up what remains of humanity, and
managing their expectations and interests may play a key role in the advancing
of humanity. Attacking vessels of that faction, or plundering them for
resources, may prevent you from accessing their technologies in the future, or
making them openly hostile towards you.

Crafted Universe
Each area is purposefully built for the player to explore and potentially
conquer. Additional areas may be provided to you through your choices in both
the story and gameplay.

Mining
There are many ways to gain Terra, from bounties to faction task rewards, but
mining is one of the least dangerous, or at least, it used to be.
