Spacegame is a 2D side-scrolling multiplayer sandbox RPG set in a solar system roughly one-thousandth the size of ours. Planets are circular, with gravity that behaves the way you'd expect - and the ground beneath your feet is made of voxels arranged like slices of a pie, radiating out from each planet's core.

The game is still very much a prototype, and the full design is still taking shape. But here's a taste of what we're building toward:

• Mining planets and building your factory
• Designing, building, and launching rockets
• Establishing a presence in orbit
• Mining asteroids
• Travelling to, exploring, and colonizing other planets
• Visiting local NPC towns and taking on missions from them
• Ship-to-ship space combat

Because it's a sandbox, most of these things will happen alongside other players in a shared, persistent solar system.
