Distant Friends

Note: This ENTIRE game's size is about 13 kilobytes of compressed code and assets (music included)!  wow!

It has been a long time since you last saw your friends. You board your rocket and fly back into Ceres... will you be able to gather the gang back together?

Race across the galaxy, become an asteroid miner, and fish legendary creatures from deep space as you hop from planet to planet, following the lives of your now distant friends.

Desktop: Use the arrow keys to control the ship, space to fire rockets, and Enter to change the waypoint.

Mobile: Tap on the screen areas to control the ship, fire rockets, and change the waypoint.

• Fix glitch on ship visuals.
• Improved instructions
• Remove dynamic asteroid fields, replace with fixed location mining field
