A banger of a game, I think. Quite simplistic, but pretty engaging.
My only two regrets are that it lacks the saving/loading feature and that the oxygen is extremely weak as an emergency fuel source.
Other than that, it feels rather nice.

Travel through space as you mine for resources like gold, iron, oxygen, and gems. Use collected resources at space stations to upgrade guns and shields and improve gas usage. Mostly a peaceful game of exploration, you will have to monitor your ship's gas and ammo usage and may occasionally attract the attention of pirates who will attempt to destroy your ship.
In Out of Gas, the environment beyond the starting area is procedurally generated and completely random. Apart from the special colored asteroids, the dropped resources are also completely random. There is a chance that you will encounter a tradepost, where you can trade gems for large amounts of other resources such as gold, iron, and oxygen.

Thank you for your comment! I'm currently working on a save/load system, but it's slow going. I've been thinking about strengthening oxygen and since you feel the same, i'm definetly going to now.
Thanks again!
