A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Welcome to Team Disposables' third Ludum Dare release!

Stuck on a small asteroid, prepare to frantically scramble over every available surface searching for the three crystals to power up your car and get off this rock.

Hello, I'm a Speedrunner / TASer on YouTube but I am unable to get through the game.

Is there any tutorial anyone can link me to.

It would be really nice if you make one, as you would be the best at showing the gameplay.

Yeah no worries, will do in the next few days.

Thank You, that's gonna be exciting

Sorry forgot about this! Will try and get to in the next few days!

Ok

I've uploaded "map.bmp.zip" - its a map of the whole game. You need to collect the three crystals, which I've highlighted in orange, and exit through the central tunnel. I took the screen shots using the older version of the game but the layout is identical.


Hope this helps, and good luck!

 I know this was uploaded over a year ago, I was wondering if this project is still being updated?
