New version 0.2.1 has been uploaded, now covers about 4 out of the 8 days (a lot of missing obstacles at the moment). Still a few tweaks left to do to the background graphics, but visual look has mostly solidified now. Will keep chipping away.

Slowly adding more graphics to the game, palette is nearly decided though might have a few more tweaks to go. Next phase is starting to build out a level or two.

Work continues on the graphics, it's starting to finally look like a game. I have a day/night cycle working with lighting. Still on a single "level" at the moment but that should change soon.

Work has started on remastering the original Space Station: Alpha with improved graphics and new functionality. Preview in the GIF.

Graphics just about complete now, next major development feature now is controls before I then work on finalising the level design.

Managed to get sliding animations into the game, still needs a little tweaking though and collision detection added in. A lot of the core functionality is now in, soon it will be to get level design started.
