Hello everyone!
Here is our (wife & husband) LD39 Jam entry. This is our first time in Ludum Dare, and also our first game that we actually "completed" and released. We hope you enjoy playing this little game as much as we enjoyed creating it. Please read the objective and controls before playing
Have fun :)
You control an astronaut floating around in space after an accident. Get back to your Skylab before your Manned Maneuvering Unit runs out of what little gas it has left.
You must maneuver yourself to the back side of the Skylab. There, you will see the lights designating your destination. Keep steady in front of the lights for 5 seconds to be rescued.
WASD: Thrust Forward / Back / Left / Right
QE: Thrust Down / Up
Numpad 4 5 6 8: Yaw and Pitch
Numpad 7 9: Roll
Left Stick: Thrust Up / Down / Left / Right
Left / Right Triggers: Thrust Back / Forward
Right Stick: Pitch and Roll
Left / Right Bumpers: Yaw
Be resourceful, and don't spend too much gas. Remember, there is no friction in space, once you get your velocity up, you will need to use more gas to stop yourself.
