The Plot
Your spaceship is crap, you know that but don't care. "What trouble I'll get in this peaceful universe?" You always told yourself. Yes, you're right. There's no big trouble until you met the BLACK HOLE. You need 10 secs to prepare jump, and at the mean time, evade asteroids and catch fuel tanks. Easy job, isn't it?
========================================================
Spaceship Operation Manual
1.SPACE key control engine to go forward, consuming fuel.
2.UP key and DOWN key control vertical position, these don't need fuel.
3.Gravity slow down time as it increase.
4.Run out of fuel? Just take it easy and wait to DIE.
5.Captured by a black hole? Also take it easy and wait to DIE.
========================================================
Build Tools
* Unity3D, 2D ToolKit, Prime31 Unity Scripts, GoKit
* Garageband, bfxr
* Inkscape
=========================================================
NOTE : About the crazy slow movement.
I see many complains the moving speed is too slow, so here's my explanation. Actually the movement is very fast to the captain in the ship, we think it's slow because out time speed is much faster than his. From game start to jump success, it's only 10 seconds to the captain, we already have take too many actions in such short time, made the captain vomit a lot. So for his safe, we can't move faster than that. I hope you like my explanation :-)
Here's my confession http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2013/08/28/the-mistake-i-made-in-black-hole-runner/
=========================================================
Update:
* Update the Windows and Linux build.
* Add Kongregate post compo version, much easier to play.
