A small journey developed in PICO-8

Controls

Press "C" or use the arrow keys to make different in-game choices.

Level 1: Use the left and right arrows for lateral thrusters,

and the "X" key to counter gravity.

Level 2: Use all arrow keys to move the lander in all directions.

Level 3: You’ll figure it out :)

Rules

You can find the rules in-game, on the How To page.

They’re pretty straightforward.

There are three difficulty levels.

The harder the difficulty, the longer the experience

and the more points you can collect.

Something about the game

This is my first game, made as a complete newbie to coding and game development.

It’s a small PICO-8 game, made with a lot of care. 

I tried to shape it as a short journey, with a clear beginning and a clear end, rather than a classic endless lander, but I won’t say more.

There are three difficulty levels — I recommend normal for a first run.

Gravity changes from planet to planet, and not in a simple or linear way, so pay attention.

Hope you enjoy it. Feedback and comments are very welcome.

The game is completely free to play and download.  

Thank you for taking the time to play it, and if you still want to buy me a coffee, it’s truly appreciated!
