How the game works

Left and Right rotate the ship; Up fires the boosters. Green markers around the craft guide the pilot toward customers shown as red circles.

A decision to watch

The creator says the ship respawns after a crash rather than ending the entire game. A passenger who was aboard may nevertheless be unhappy, so a collision still affects the trip.

Try a first session

Use a modest burst of thrust while learning to turn near a planet. The same controls handle both the approach to a waiting customer and the departure afterward.
