Be a trucker in space, press m to get the mission board and take out a mission, then press b to buy the needed cargo (you may need to travel), load up your ship using wasd to move cargo and tab to switch between then press space to fly to your delivery target

There are 3 buildings you can fly between: Hospital, Ship Yard and Grocery. Each building sells a different set of items, and they will all be able to give you missions.

There is an indicator to point to the target station, if you press m while flying this will allow to pick the active mission or change the target.

When delivering items the mission the item you are delivering for must be active.

See how much money you can make - how many missions can you solve with one load?

I can't find any other stations?


If you press m while flying that will bring up a menu where you can set a target station, you should then be able to see a red target indicator pointing you towards the station. This target will automatically link to the active mission.

Inititally the webview had the inidcator cut off, i've since rebuilt the webgl version so it can now be seen. I should've made it more obvious in the first place.

CONTROLS:

There are some controller mappings but they don't work with the menus.

Flight:


- Accelerate = W/S
- Turn = A/D
- Dock = R
- Nav Menu = M

Ship Loading:


- Switch object = Tab
- Movement = WASD
- Rotate = Q/E
- Leave Station = Space
- Buy items = B
- Mission board = m
- Sell/Deliver Item = R

CHANGELOG:


- Rebuilt webgl to adjust viewport size due to edges cutting off target inidicator
- Rebuilt webgl again to fix not working on firefox

The controls feel good and the graphics are ok, but I think the UI can use a lot of more work. The concept itself is not that fun.

Very nice entry, I bet it was hard to program the missions system within this timeframe!

Pointer to the stations would be nice tho'

I like flying aimlessly through space, but there is a moment when the stars end and I'm in total black. As for the theme, it was the opposite of limited space.

The idea and theme was great! The music, graphics and ship controls worked well. Too bad that the game was kinda confusing with other controls and mechanics. I struggled so long with the delivery cause I didn't understand how it worked. Maybe if the game guided people more clearly, it would be easier to get into :)
