Gameplay Tips


*Movement:* Your ship maintains its velocity at all times. Thrust forward with "W" to move in the direction you're facing. You may have to work against your current velocity!

*Boosting:* Boosting will increase your speed at its current velocity. You can only boost when you're thrusting! This is a good way to change directions, but be careful, because it drains your fuel quickly.

*Trading Health for Fuel:* If you don't have a lot of enemies shooting at you, you might find your fuel is running low. You can trade 1/3 of your health for an equal amount of fuel. Be careful--you can drain all of your health this way!
