Articles - In Space No One Can Hear You Clean

Top 1% of submissions in GMTK Game Jam 2021! Space is big, and people assume that means they can just dump their junk wherever they feel like it. That's where you come in: someone's gotta clean it all up. Use your ship's magnetic field to attract junk and haul it to the disposal unit. For dangerous junk — you'll know it's dangerous because it's glowing red — use your repulsor field and/or magnetic field to ease it down to a safe velocity, then bring it in. The clock's ticking, but you'll get extra time for hauling in the big stuff. Which is good because there's no weight in space, but there is still mass, and big stuff means more of it. Just watch out — one wrong move and someone else will have to clean up what's left of you!
