Steer towards the indicator.\r\n- Use 'F' to raise the shields when the ALERT light warns of incoming asteroids\r\n- Watch the control panel to see the power level of different components.\r\n- Watch the rocket to see how damaged the components are. Generally darker is worse - but most components match colours with the control panel when fully repaired.\r\n- CTGBYHUJM repair the respective components\r\n*** Repairs are the key to a long flight! ***\r\n- 'P' pauses.\r\n- Consider the Passenger.\r\n\r\nWeb version works great ... but if you find you get a low framerate, try downloading the version for your operating system of choice.\r\n\r\n Inspired by:\r\n Carl Sagan (the \"star-stuff\" quote)\r\n Space Team (the iOS game)\r\n Owl City (\"Alligator Skies\")<\/p>","title":"Ablaze"}
