This is a strand-like game, where you'll be loosely connected to other players online, and help each other out to complete deliveries. There is no realtime multiplayer.
Hiya! And welcome to Ink & Ink Industries. You are a Drone Pilot AI in training and are working to prove yourself with the most honorable of tasks: delivering a human heart. To get there we're going to train you on some simple deliveries like gravel and fine glassware.
You'll need to take things slow, since there's a lot of space junk and other hazards which could damage your packages (or you).
Other delivery drones are active in this sector and will deploy helpful structures such as repair and mapping stations that will help you along your journey.

- The other station is located directly to the right - deviating will alert the anti-rogue-AI security bots.
- Careful! Both your drone ship and packages are susceptible to damage.
- Completing a delivery will grant you some credits, even if you have no surviving packages.
- Use your earned credits in the shop to purchase more thrusters and deployable stations.
- Deployed stations will stick around for a while - and will also help out other players!
- Left-Right/A-D - turn
- Space - activate gravity ball
- Shift - launch thruster rocket
- H - open deployment menu
- E - grab small junk with ship tail - junk is sold when delivery is completed
This game features a non-realtime multiplayer system.
The only data sent to the server is your chosen username and some in-game accomplishments. Usernames of other players will be visible in-game.
Online play can be disabled on the title screen.
