Ablaze

- Dedicated to "(J & V) + 1" -

Written by @ignifluous, for Ludum Dare 26 - "Minimalism"

"For what are we but star-stuff,

trying to find the circumstances

of our birth? We were forged in

the hearts of dying stars ...

and to the stars

ablaze

we return."

INSTRUCTIONS:

Travel as far as you can towards the stars!

- Don't worry about remembering the controls - they're all marked on the control panel.

- Use WASD to keep the navigation display centered. Steer towards the indicator.

- Use 'F' to raise the shields when the ALERT light warns of incoming asteroids

- Watch the control panel to see the power level of different components.

- Watch the rocket to see how damaged the components are. Generally darker is worse - but most components match colours with the control panel when fully repaired.

- CTGBYHUJM repair the respective components

* Repairs are the key to a long flight! *

- 'P' pauses.

- Consider the Passenger.

Web version works great ... but if you find you get a low framerate, try downloading the version for your operating system of choice.
