Carve Your Name Among The Stars

Arrow keys—turn spaceship
Z—go forwards
X—go backwards

To scan a planet, come to a full stop in front of it.

Keep an eye on your fuel dial. Your ship runs on elements commonly found in the atmosphere of gas giants.

Made for Portland Indie Game Squad's Summer Slow Jam 2021, genre: exploration—although I didn't start working on this until late in the jam, so it was a little less slow!
