Space Exploration is a simple exploration game similar to Strange Adventures in Infinite Space, Escape Velocity, Starflight or Star Control.
It creates a new random map each time you play it, giving you different combinations of encounters each time, which basically means infinite replay value.
It's currently under development, and I occasionally release development versions for people to try out and give me feedback. The newest version is dev 5, which adds a much-improved user interface.
The long-term plan is to publish it as a shareware/"episodic" content game. This works as follows: The game is played on a randomised star map filled with randomised encounters, which gives it good replayability.
