Uncle Chop's Rocket Shop

On an asteroid-bound service station in an unfrequented space lane, Wilbur carves out a paltry living as a mechanic, repairing as many ships as he can to afford the ever-rising rent payments to his tyrannical boss, Uncle Chop. Where most of his customers find meaning in pastimes like worshipping deranged space gods, dropping random crap in a giant black hole, endlessly digging for The Ultimate Treasure™ or mentally enslaving donut shop workers, Wilbur lives a more humble life, fixing the galaxy’s ills one broken module at a time. Fix Stuff Using a range of tools, diagnostic devices, parts and workshop appliances, you’ll be correcting faults in the modules of procedurally generated spaceships.
