Help your harvesters navigate the sand dunes.

Harvester vehicles are filling their tanks at drilling rigs out in the desert. Filled with precious resources they head home to empty their tanks. And out they go again.

Harvesters have very simple programming and do not carry out cooperative routines. To be more efficient you need to lead their ways by carrying them with you ship.

Pick up a harvester by pressing/holding [Space] when flying over it. Drop a picked-up harvester by pressing [Ctrl] at any time. Last in first out. Can carry up to 3 harvesters.

If the game does not react, try button "Fullscreen​" below the game canvas, to give the game focus.

Controls


- Steer left / right: [Left Arrow Key] & [Right Arrow Key]
- Pickup harvester: [Space]
