Story
We should never have gone...
We were so naive as to the dangers space held. From the Earth, one can see little of the rest of the galaxy, much less the universe.
The first ship equiped with the flux drive changed all that, though most wish it hadn't.
The universe is not as it seems from the Earth, after all. There are strange things happening there... and it is not as empty as it may seem. Actually, the universe, in places, is made up of terrain not unlike that of Earth, while totally `new' substances make up the rest of it.
Sorry, I know I ramble on, but this needs to be known. Well, the first ship, dubbed Nejillian Flux, after the man who invented the flux drive, Myran Nejillian, was sent out as a probe, but it was attacked and nearly destroyed by some strange beings.
The crew were picked up just before their air began to run out by a passing `scooter'.
The pilot was not from Earth, yet he appeared to be human. I don't know the story behind this, but it would probably make an interesting novel.
Now, the crew have to try to get back home, but without the flux drive, who knows where they'll turn up??
Instructions
The up, down, left, and right arrow keys move the ship in those directions. Tapping the space bar shoots, while hitting Enter drops a missile.
There is a secret way out of every round, and until you find it you will loop through the round continuously.
TIP: When you gain a spinning shield, try not to shoot, as you will likely destroy your protection.
