SPACEMAN SPLORF: PLANET OF DOOM for the Odyssey2

 SPACEMAN SPLORF: PLANET OF DOOM




NOW AVAILABLE! 



The Story So Far

You are Splorf, Space Corp Sanitation Engineer 5th Class, Lavatorial Division. A small yet vital cog in the corporate machine. You are good at your job. Another 20 years, and you could possibly make 4th Class Engineer. But today your mind is on other things than work.

The rumours have reached even the lowest levels of Methane Station; the harvest ships have
returned from their latest run to the 
Doom system with more than just gas - 
they brought disastrous news 
concerning the defensive system 
protecting Space Corp's interests 
from space pirates and fierce 
competitors!

"You there", a middle manager shouts 
at you, "Commander Splix needs a volunteer! 
Get your lazy plarp up to level 17 immediately!"

As you step into the turbolift, you nervously repeat the creed to yourself: "This is my spanner. There are many like it, but this one is mine..."

The rumours were true! Exploding gasteroids have damaged the disintegration fence above planet doom, and Commander Splix wants you to fix it! Repairman Splorf to the rescue...

Working quickly to fix the damaged shield generator before evil space pirates steal the precious gas resources from the planet below, you suddenly see your company issued spanner drifting off towards the planet.

Misplacing company property would result in your pay being docked, or being sent to work in the splort mines! Not a tempting prospect.

Using your jetpack you desperately follow the spanner into a particularly pungent gasteroid field - just as the now fully operational disintegration fence above you turns itself back on...

On March 11, 2023, Andreas Gustafsson died in a tragic accident. 
He was walking on some ice and he fell into the water. 
Ambulance and rescue services were called to the scene
( Bala Gård in Simlångsdalen outside Halmstad, Sweden). 
Unfortunately, Andreas did not survive.
