Current (beginning of) story: (NOTE: Subject to change)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The year is 2144, and Earth has become polluted and has dangerously low levels of natural resources. The CES (Coalition for Earth's Survival) has deemed it necessary to find new sources for coal and oil, or even a location to colonize. With little time to spare, Earth sends Kevin Powers, with a team of researchers and miners, to explore the stars.

One day on the ship, the crew is relaxing and making bets on sporting events going on back on Earth. Suddenly, the ship hits a small asteroid. Ironically, the ship's resources are damaged, and it begins to run low on oil and fuel. Kevin Powers desperately tries to steer the ship to a nearby planet, but realizes that a fatal crash is inevitable. Just before hitting the planetary surface, Kevin ejects from the ship. His crew is not so lucky.

Kevin looks around him. He is badly injured, and sees no signs of civilization. He pulls himself together and looks around anyway...

If you would like to comment on how the story begins, feel free. More importantly, if you have suggestions for cool things to add to the intermediate levels (mainly tiles and level structure, not engine concepts), but mainly an end to the story. If it's a story ending, please email it to m@malcolm-s.net, so that the story isn't ruined for anyone in case I use it.
