A downloadable game for Android

This is an entry for the IVJam. My theme was this -> Square Master, it's a symulator. I thought about Master Chief lost in space, I thought about all the space syms these days are full. I had just watched Interstellar ( *.* ). So I tried to recreate the feelings of loneliness, lost and wonder a space explorer would have.

The game is not complete. There is a solar system to explore. All the planets have the same appearence, they differe in mass and size. Playable only with a game controller or a keyboard and a mouse.
