About
Welcome cadet! Your first rescuing mission will take place in the Maldoras orbital junk yard. We discovered a distress signal next to the debris of the destroyed station.
Use your thrusters or jump of debris and surfaces to get to your target. Use you tether and attach to the different debris so you can take time and evaluate the next destination in your route or collect more fuel and oxygen.
Good luck with the retrieval!

This is beautifully designed, both artistically and mechanics-wise. I haven't managed yet to complete it (it's pretty hard) and I think the biggest improvement that would have pushed me to keep trying is if after I died I returned not to the absolute beginning but to the first holding point - this way I wouldn't have those 15 seconds of not being able to do anything while waiting to reach it. Oh, and maybe disable the "target identified" after the first time. In a game where you can die so easily, it's important to let the player jump right into action afterwards (in my opinion). Other than that I think this is a really impressive work.
This looks awesome! Great job! Kepp it up man!
