Chickadee

You are the space explorer Chickadee and your ship has crashed on a strange planet.

Your ship will need to be refueled to be able to launch.  Fortunately this planet has an abundance of minerals that your ship can convert to fuel, and you have a suitable way to mine them.

Keep collecting minerals until you have enough to launch.  And don't let your ship go without minerals for long once the fuel synthesizer has started, or you may be stuck here a lot longer.

And be sure to defend your cache from robotic pilferers.

If your ship is being overrun, there are a number of structures you can build to support your efforts.

Chickadee is an arcade-inspired game, much like A Park and Pigeons, where the mechanics are clear and the difficulty ramps up quickly.  You can go for high scores or best times, on any level that you've reached.

Chickadee is available to play for free - you can play it as much as you want without giving me anything.

But if you like this game, please share it far and wide.
