Wreckage

Important!

If you get the dreaded "openAL32.dll not found":
Either download the version with the OpenAL installer
or install OpenAL from http://openal.org/downloads/

... I can guarantee you that other games in the compo will be using OpenAL, so it's worth installing :-)

Other things you might need to install, that other compo games also will be using :

Story

Starship captain Pebbles wasn't expecting his power generator to blow, it just seemed to happen way too often on this type of ship. Not that running out of power was his only problem, there's debris and ooh, yup, there's still enemy vessels in the vicinity. Not much he can do now other than hang around and leech power from other ships in the area to stay alive until the fleet comes to retrieve him yet again...

Instructions

Navigate the space arena avoiding contact with any type of object.
Your ship is constantly losing power.
Using your thruster drains power.
Don't collide with any ships you'll lose a lot of power.
Don't get hit by the enemy pulse weapons.
Don't get stuck in any laser barrier.
Don't run into any mines.

Top up your energy levels by connecting to enemy space ships with your hook.
Collisions with other ships and debris will cause you to detach from enemy ships.
Stay alive until the counter has counted down to zero.
and most importantly...

Don't run out of power!
