A downloadable game for Windows

Deep Space Exploitation is a small game about mining asteroids in deep space using dodgy equipment for an even dodgier corporation. Use the fruits of your cosmic labour to buy new equipment and secure your future.

DEMO RELEASED!
Demo v0.1 has been released, which gives a nice tiny chunk of gameplay showing the core loop of: Mining -> Selling -> Buying -> Repeat. Give it a try and help me out with some feedback HERE (include your name/handle and I'll add you to the game's final credits as a play tester).

Extract and run "InfraRed.AsteroidMiner.exe". The game runs on .Net8 but this is a self contained build so you shouldn't need to install anything.

What are the controls? I figured out arrow keys to move and WASD to move around the inventory, and space to shoot. It seems like there is more and I can't scoop up materials.

I found it, going into the pause menu shows the controls.

In v0.2 this is a little more clear now :)

I'll add a little run down in the game description
