I guess that's the challenge of the game though. Maybe you should have had a closest tree indicator and reduced the oxygen to keep the challenge?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The graphics are interesting lol. Flying around a bear-head with 6 stars trailing behind it is quite a sight.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The lack of sounds (mainly music) kinda sucks.
