After 10 seconds countdown your ship will lift off to moon, where you must try to take pictures of alien devices and return safe to earth to prove their existence to world.
* HOW TO PLAY *
All is done with the mouse. The cursor controls where are your view/hand. On game start, onboard computer will print information about the mission and you can hover mouse over cockpit controls to get some help on what it does.
This game was made to bring some real space flight feeling, so it will be hard to figure out controls at first. Firstly, the ship moves towards its velocity vector. You will get a strong push toward moon from initial lift off but in space this vector is adjusted only by rocket thrusts. This rocket (when active) push ship to its nose direction. So to bring ship at full stop for example, the rocket must be directed contrary to velocity vector. Keep an eye at moon and earth distance, as well the current craft velocity displayed in panels in front of you.
Did I mention that Earth and Moon gravity are in play? =)
So, the challenge is to reach moon, find orbital path and get gravitational pull to return earth with limited fuel.
Those black panels display information or device status (gray: off / lime: on). Each device that is turned on consumes battery.
Good luck!
