Our take on Spaceship Simulator
The store presentation focuses on freeform spacecraft construction and cascading component damage, but the current scope is narrower: five part categories, barrage combat, and a stated escape objective. The prototype origin also places the game’s development context alongside its feature pitch.
What is Spaceship Simulator?
Build a spacecraft from captured parts while exploring an unknown galaxy and fighting unusual space creatures.
The current version includes five component categories: joints, weapons, defense, flight, and warehouses. Joints shape the craft’s structure and movement system; flight parts provide thrust, with larger ships requiring more power. Warehouses store materials such as laser and shield energy or ammunition for kinetic weapons. Combat uses barrage shooting and destructible ship components. Destroying a connected part can trigger explosions in nearby sections, remove an enemy’s propulsion, or disable its energy supply and laser weapon. The stated objective is to defeat increasingly dangerous creatures and eventually escape the galaxy. The game originated from a prototype made for GGJ in January.
How Spaceship Simulator plays
- 01Modular Ship Construction
- Five current part categories let players shape the craft’s structure, weapons, defenses, propulsion, and storage.
- 02Component-Based Combat
- Damaging connected sections can cause chain reactions or remove an enemy’s movement and energy capabilities.
- 03Resource Storage
- Warehouse parts hold materials including power for lasers and shields and ammunition for kinetic weapons.
- 04Galaxy Escape Objective
- The progression centers on defeating space creatures and escaping the unknown galaxy.
