Control a mars rover! Signal delay causes your inputs to be delayed by 10 seconds. See if you can pick up a rock and place it in the rover's basket!

Note: 10 seconds ended up being pretty difficult. I included some easier settings so you can get the hang of the technique. Move slow and stop between steering corrections!

My best times:

Easiest: 1:12

Easier: 1:48

Normal: 10:42

Let me know how you do!

Edit:

I realized the list of controls in the menu is incomplete. Here's the complete list:

Up/Down arrows - adjust speed

B - set speed to 0

Left/Right arrows - turn

N - center steering

W/S - move lower arm

E/D - move upper arm

Space - toggle grapple

Right click and drag to move the camera

Scrollwheel to zoom

Escape - Back to main menu

Linux version is untested. Please let me know if you have problems with it!
