Keep the ISS alive

First time in Ludum Dare, I wanted to do a game about keeping the ISS (International Space Station) alive, keep it funded and working.

I made more than I thought I will be able to do, due to my limits in knowledge (or lack of) and time, but at the end I'm happy as you can start the game and add modules to the ISS until money runs out or you get no propulsion.

The mechanics are similar to a tile laying game, add a tile (ISS module) and it gives you Electricity or Science and it will use some of those to give you Victory Points. Game is broken at the moment, as the values I think are all wrong, and need tuning to make it playable, but you can at least add some modules if you have power, gather Science.

I want to add the posibility to add astronauts, Hatches, Habitats and other things are not in the game at the moment, but will be added.

It was a fun experience :)

Great job on your first jam kabutor. Would be cool if we could generate more money somehow and make a huge space station. Cool ideas though and I hope to see you at the next jam too.

Quick reminder to get more players: Use a thumbnail for your game. Otherwise your game is presented with this grey box. Some great Games are not played because of a missing thumbnail ... You can still change it by editing your submission page :)

Nice job on your first entry. Would be cool to have added the ability to top and bottom in addition to left and right. Cool idea and nice game for your first!
