First build I consider in a state I can submit for LD48. It's not done. Not but a long shot. But the core thing, the idea I had for Deeper and Deeper, is there. There's not any real progression yet, but it is starting to take shape. It's still rough around the edges, but it actually kinda looks like a game now.

Controls are KB + Mouse only for now
WASD to control the ship (W and S throttle forward and back, A and S turn the ship)
Space to activate the flight assist (acts as a brake when not pressing W or S, otherwise it straightens your flight)
LMB shoots a pulse laser (There's nothing implemented to destroy yet)
Hold Shift to engage the warp drive. You need a minimum of 100 fuel to warp to a new sector, and you must hold shift long enough for that fuel to be used, otherwise you shoot off into the distance and lose the fuel. Currently, a maximum of 200 fuel can be used for a warp, after which the warp will end on it's own. Unfortunately, there's not actual GUI feed back yet on when the warp has consumed enough fuel, so you kinda have to wing it.

Fly through a nebula to passively gain fuel. The fuel rate is massively boosted as it's the only source for fuel right now. In a more complete version nebulae are slow, last resort method of getting fuel.
