Out of Steam VR (Steampunk In Space)

Out of Steam leaves you shipwrecked inside of an asteroid belt. Grab and pull yourself through the steampunk rocket ship, fly through space, and collect all the scattered parts to get your ship up and running again. Shoot steam from your hands to correct your trajectory, so you don't drift off into the vast infiniteness of space.. (warning: it might happen anyway)
