Operation Drifter
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
One day, you receive a distress call from near a black hole... Maybe whoever that was will have some valuable scrap to salvage! Collect and sell scrap, upgrade your ship and your suit, and try not to get pulled in by the black hole in the process... That's where the ships get destroyed, and that's where all the valuable scrap is. But be careful: there's a reason there's more scrap there.
Controls: [W][A][S][D], Arrow Keys, or Left Stick to Move, [E], [Z], [J], or Right Joypad Button to Interact, [O], [V], [H], or Left Joypad Button to Enter and Exit your Ship, hold [Tab], [X], [K], or Top Joypad Button to Scan, [F], [C], [L], [Enter], or Bottom Joypad Button to Confirm, Scroll Up or hold [I] or Right Trigger to Zoom In, and Scroll Down or hold [O] or Left Trigger to Zoom Out.
The current version is a very bare-bones version made for the 2026 Triangle Game Jam and slightly updated after. It is not eligible for prizes due to creator involvement in Jam planning.
Note: there aren't proper title, pause, or death screens, so the game just starts up and closes when you die.
