Deep Space Trucker 9

My submission to GBJam 11, Deep Space Trucker 9 is a slice-of-life game about hauling cargo around to pay off your ship's debt. This will involve carefully choosing your cargo and taking advantage of different prices at each location. 

The theme for the Jam was Space which this game showcases in a couple of unique ways. First, the most obvious is that the game takes place in space. However, a key component of the game is managing the space of your cargo hold by selecting different types of cargo and balancing the weight between the left and right holds. Finally, the player's ship also includes an option to re-arrange furniture to affect the space within your ship. 

As a part of GBJam, the game is designed to look like a Gameboy game. However, the game was also made using GB Studio so you can also play the game on a similar platform by downloading the ROM and running the .gb file.

This page is the original Jam version/post-jam version. The full in development game can be found here as Cos-Mack Trucker.
