Captain Distress

Explore a remote galaxy and follow clues leading you to distress beacons. Rescue as many as you can, before your own fuel runs out. You will learn the names of the planets over time, but more will appear on the horizon.

Controls

The game is played with mouse only.

• Use the scroll wheel to change the jump distance. Change the sensitivity in settings (ESC) if needed.
• Middle-click to quickly set the distance to a highlighted planet.
• Hold right-click to enter precision mode, with lower scroll and look sensitivity.
• And finally, left-click to jump!

NOTE: in response to possible hardware issues with middle-click, the hotifx build makes the following changes:

• Left-click to quickly set the distance to a highlighted planet.
• Left-click and hold to jump.

The old controls can be toggled in settings menu.

Hotfix

We uploaded a second "hotfix" build after the deadline, with the following changes:

• Fixed a possible gamebreaking bug occuring after the first playthrough.
• Added a second control scheme, which does not use middle-click at all. This scheme is now the default and can be toggled in settings menu ("Hold to jump" option).
• Fixed fullscreen mode glitching on certain monitor setups.
