An entry for Bigmode Game Jam 2025, made with love.

The theme is power, so I've made a classic sci-fi power distribution game. POWER is the game's driving story element and its impossible to do anything without interacting with your ships power cells. You must rely on them but you can't use them all up or you'll be stranded in the void of space...

It's not your typical space shooter, the goal is not to kill as many enemies as possible or to get a high score, you just need to hunker down and survive. You'll find that sometimes doing nothing and taking some damage is better than wasting cells. Use every advantage your ship and your mining rig can offer you. Try to think outside of the box... which is difficult because you are literally stuck in a box.

Good luck! And watch out for those flies, they're mean.


No sound in the windows version, unfortunately. :(
