Afar is a space exploration game created for the StarTrekJam hosted by Sophie Houlden. Get to know your starship, learn what it can do, and see what's out there.

The game is incomplete; what's posted here is as far was I was able to get within the span of the game jam.  I plan to add to it, but I don't know when that will happen.

Features in the current build include:

• Explore an entire solar system and battle the hostile beings you encounter there
• Control your ship by sitting in the captain's chair and issuing orders to your crew
• Head down to main engineering and alter your ship's abilities by replacing and moving the parts that make it function

Current version changes:

Version 0.11 - 2 July 2016 - Fixes some bugs and includes some tweaks based on user feedback
