Running out of Control Fuel
About
Use your ships 8 thrusters to guide it through obstacles to reach the target. Thrusters may glitch and fire on their own, so try to maintain control!
This game requires a keyboard with a numberpad. (Sorry. No time to provide more/better options.)
This game is for the GMTK Game Jam 2020, with the theme "out of control". I was inspired by all the cool space development that is going on these days, and so I've been exposed to a few terms. One of them is "reaction control system" - it's the system that moves a ship with short bursts from thrusters arrayed on the side of a ship's hull. This system uses fuel of some sort, and so this game is about running "out of [reaction] control" system fuel.
But to make the game fit the theme even more I added glitchy thrusters, which fire on their own. The game selects which thrusters are to be glitchy at the start of the level, so it's possible to learn which thruster will misbehave and react accordingly.
Thanks for playing and I hope you enjoy!
