Captain, your mandatory assistance is requested to quash the rebels. Build your ship and own the skies. Command will provide you with whatever parts it deems necessary to complete the mission. You'll start with nothing and assemble yourself. All parts are expendable but the cockpit. You've been warned.
How to beat the first puzzle:
!> Put the thruster above the cockpit so that your cockpit doesn't get destroyed
-------
Controls:
Build mode:
(Compo edition): Select your part from the right. Click `place` and drag it to the desired spot (or click the spot directly if it's empty). Click an occupied spot and then use the remove or rotate buttons at the top left as desired. Once your ship has a cockpit, click `to combat` to proceed to the battle!
(Post-Compo edition): Select your part from the right. Left click an open slot to place it. Left click an occupied slot to rotate the part, or right click to remove it. Once your ship has a cockpit, click `to combat` to proceed to the battle!
Combat mode:
- WASD: strafe
- QE: rotate
- Space: attack
------
Tips:
- This game is half physics sandbox, half puzzle, and half arcade. Different levels exercise different halves and require different approaches.
- Every thruster only fires in one direction. Plan out your thrusters relative to the center of gravity for best control. For example: putting your forward thrusters along the center of mass will allow you to move forward without rotating.
- The only thrusters that can rotate are those that are facing sideways. Put these far from the center of mass for maximum effectiveness
- More parts means more mass. More mass means more thrusters required for the same acceleration!
- Don't be afraid to press the "give up" button! Sometimes all you need is a little tweak :wink:
- You got this! :smiley:
------
Post Compo Changelog:
* Simplified ship builder - removed buttons, drag/drop and use left/right click instead
* Added particles for projectile hit effect
* Partially fixed UI scaling
* (Post-Compo Easy Mode build only) Modified the thrusters so that they can fire in any direction, giving much greater control over the ship's movement and greatly reducing the difficulty of the game's puzzles. Play this mode if you can't beat the normal mode!
