Carve Your Name Among The Stars
Controls
Arrow keys—turn spaceship
Z—go
forwards
X—go backwards
To scan a planet, come to a full stop in front of it.
Keep an eye on your fuel dial. Your ship runs on elements commonly found in the atmosphere of gas giants.
Minor (but potentially helpful) spoilers: garden worlds provide random encounters, rocky planets tell a small narrative arc, and gas giants refuel your ship.

Why are the controls backwards? I try to pitch up, I go down. I try to pitch down, I go up!
hey really love this but it crashes pretty quickly when playing browser and it won't load from the itch app - do you have a recommended way of playing
fantastic
so great!
it was really nice flying through space & learning about the planets.
The game feels haunting and calming at the same time. I really enjoyed the experience.
