PlanetDrop - A Tiny Space Adventure

Very impressive for a game made by a single person in his spare time for a few months. You command a ship and execute various missions in a star system, facing many enemies that you can defeat by force or evade by stealth. In some missions, your commandos will have to be dropped via shuttles and capture enemy zones. Ship navigation in a planet's orbit takes a little time to get used to, but the mechanics make sense and approach realism. Everything you have at your disposal has its use - various torpedoes, the energy pulse to detect mines, the decoy to lure enemy torpedoes away from your ship, there's even "teleportation" (SF-jump) to designated points of the planet. When you run out of necessary resources, you can buy them at neutral stations. The ship models and music are nice. The game takes around 8-10 hours to beat for a beginner, which is a good length considering the small scale of the project and the fact it is a free game. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the genre.
