Summary

Our main character and a group of his astronaut friends went for a trip in space. What was supposed to be a fun time in space was met with tragedy when their rocket malfunctioned and broke causing the astronauts to fly off into space in different directions. Now, our main character who was nearest the rocket fixed it and must look for his friends who are lost in space. 

Goal

Your task is to help our main character find his friends by controlling his rocket through the unpredictable space.

Instructions

• Controls: 
  • Keys: A (left), D (right), Space bar (thrust)
  • UI: Left Arrow (left), Right Arrow (right), Up Arrow (thrust)
• Using the controls, manipulate the rocket through the level
• While traversing through space, remember to keep a lookout for the missing astronauts. Please pick them up by making contact with them with the rocket
• Note the astronaut count on top of the screen. Leave no man behind. 
• After collecting all of them, finish the level by landing on the finishing pad on the other side of the space.
• Remember not to touch the blocks and move bodies in space, they destroy the rocket, and you need to repeat. The number of astronauts randomizes from 1 to 6.  

Mechanics

• Using the controls, the player must manipulate the rocket through the space (from the launching pad to the landing pad)
• While traversing through the space, rocker must make contact with the lost astronauts to signify they have been “found”
• Note the astronaut count on top of the screen. Player must find all of them to complete the level.
• After collecting all of the astronauts, player must move to the finishing pad on the other side of the space to signify that the level has been completed.
• Player must not touch or collide with any of the physical bodies around the space. They will entail an explosion and repeat the level.
• As difficulty per level increases, there will be objects with gravitational pull that will hinder the rocket. The player must carefully maneuver these to avoid contact with the physical bodies.

Relevance to Theme: Lost and Found

• The main character lost his astronaut friends! Where are they?
• The act of finding the astronauts is done by the rocket and astronaut making contact. There is a count of how many astronauts are missing, and finding all of them would signify that all the lost astronauts were found.
