I just can’t believe with your post. Two thumbs up. Well done. I do not know how to start this madness just to compliment your post.

I’m enjoying this a lot. Some tasks can be a bit fiddly, and I had trouble bumping into things to start with, but on the whole it plays really well; and while there’s a limit to the sorts of gameplay activities that the game throws at you, the physics and the ever-changing configuration of your ship keeps the flying fun and varied.

Direct purchase from the developer is DRM-free, so you should go and give him your dollars (unless you desperately want the achievements in Steam).

Make sure you at least try the demo.

Via TIGSource, the game is out now, priced at $9.89 (£6.45), thought there’s no demo. I now know what I am doing this evening.

Edit: Apparently, I should have read the above post before I wrote this one…

It is made in Unity and thus uses PhysX :)

I played a beta of this game when it was an entry in the Unity Awards. I remember scoring it really high in gameplay; the puzzles were really inspired.

Going to school in the same city as Ludosity has it’s advantages – I was recently over there and played a test build.

It’s pretty great. You should all buy it when it’s out.

“solving the levels’ puzzles by how you rebuild your broken ship, and thus what abilities it possesses” sounds a lot like my brother-in-law’s entry for a March 2008 game programming competition I ran:

Yes, that’s it WilPal!

I love it* when RPS commenters mention the game that I’m thinking of – but can’t name.

*Although, if this keeps happening, soon I won’t have to access my gaming long-term memory at all, and the neural paths will wither. Hmm, that might be bad. MMMMMmmmmmmmmmm DONUTS.

Oh my god yes. I’ve put so many hours into Notrium and a few other mods. I would pay SO MUCH MONEY for a new Notrium-like survival game, where you have to craft your own weapons and survival tools to get food, water, shelter, heat, etc. So much want.

Well, I mean, if you’re going to talk about games in which you wander about an alien world solving puzzles to recover the lost parts of your crashed ship… you really can’t overlook Pikmin! Probably had the silliest set of lost-ship-bits to find, too; one of the (optional) bits you could recover was, as memory serves, a massage chair.

Anyway, this game looks nifty! The trailer leaves me uncertain as to how much scope for customization there’ll really be – not convinced by this pipe model? – but it could be really good. I will be on the watch!
