KUIPER SHIFT

Deep in the Kuiper belt, Sol is one more distant point in the darkness, the asteroid miner toils away. Some day their contract will end.

Requires a keyboard. Use [z], [x], [c], and the arrow keys. Interact with the console to drive your ship. Carefully approach an asteroid to mine it. Repair your ship and manage resources while you rest. Don't forget to water your plants.

Entry for the Nokia 3310 Jam 3, which requires 84x48 pixels, 1-bit color, and monophonic sound.

Title theme is from Debussey's "Clair de Lune" by Claude Debussey. Uses trix's sfx collection and and krasno's sound font (both from the jam's resources page).

Some things that inspired this game: Outer Wilds, The Expanse, the "Space Girl" TikTok song, the Wayfarers series, Asteroids (1979), Marx’s theory of alienation, and a year of pandemic isolation
