Gameplay
The player pilots a space ship while trying to keep an X and Y axis centered on the enemy, which enters the field of play at varying speeds and directions. Slower enemies appear horizontally and quicker enemies diagonally. The game's title alludes to the fact that the game is timed, as fuel levels deplete during play. Centering the X and Y axis to target enemies involves engaging thrusters which in turn burns fuel. The game can be played with either a joystick or keyboard.
gollark: Also, I could never work out how to supply reasonable quantities of oxygen to space stations.
gollark: Anyway, AR is too multiblocky, the vast amount of planets aren't very interesting, I don't actually care about designing a custom rocket, and having to research planets or something is annoying.
gollark: So, anyway, would you "host" this "modpack" or an approximation thereof? Heavpoot's server is bad and laggy (some offense).
gollark: Anyway, "heav"poot, having to restart the game whenever I die is not optimal.
gollark: I mean, Galacticraft has the same... space things?
