A downloadable game

After weeks in deep space, David has arrived at the source of a fatal transmission. His fellow pilot, Halley, sent her last ship log and then... disappeared. Now David must navigate an alien debris field and discover her fate ... and his own.
Made in ten days for Vim Jam 4.  

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Use A D to turn ... press both simultaneously to thrust forward.

Mechanical Focus: Checkpoint 

  • As you navigate the debris field, find the checkpoints that both store your progress and advance the narrative.

Theme: Cross Paths 

  • Follow the path of Halley's last voyage, and discover how your romantic path crosses with hers.

Diversifiers:

  • In a Song — The story unfolds across three scenes, each limited to the length of a different song. Take too long and the alien radiation will destroy you. Watch the RADS bar at the bottom and move fast but carefully!
  • Two Buttons — The game uses only the A D keys. 

CREDITS
