It's 1979, and you're landing your groovy new spaceship on a cruelly revolving planet.
Just two buttons (the arrow keys) do everything:
* LEFT turns left.
* RIGHT turns right.
* LEFT + RIGHT at the same time to thrust forward.
See how many levels you can beat! The cool kids wear large, polyester lapels and easily beat the first six levels. Are you as cool as they are?
-------------------
I'd had vague ideas of making a vector-graphics game for years but had never gotten around to adding vector rendering to my personal engine, "Fresh." When I saw the theme "Two Button Controls" I knew the time for mega-retro minimalism had come. Wonderful theme.
Hey! Enjoy!
