Sure, Worfin are big and scary, but they are surprisingly lax about security. Probably something to do with their reputation for eating criminals.  Anyway, you were able to get into a Worfin corvette, and activate the automated launch sequence. That\u2019s when you noticed just how difficult is is to read the controls on this ship.  You\u2019ve put your AIssistant to work on figuring them out, but so far the information is still coming out at a trickle. At any given time, you have two controls that are responding in (mostly\u00ad) comprehensible ways. Between fighting off pursuing Worfin fighters, dodging asteroids, and fixing the finicky hyperdrive, you\u2019ve been kept too busy to tease anything more out of the computers.\r\n\r\nGame Play\r\n\r\nYou will be presented with a series of challenges as you attempt to escape back to your homeworld. For each one, your AIssistant will display the working keys in the lower left portion of your helmet HUD. On occasion, it will even be able to predict what keys will be working for your next challenge. If it can do so, those keys will be displayed in the lower right hand corner of your HUD.\r\n\r\nWhat to do with these keys is sometimes difficult to decipher. Moving the weapons turret or steering the ship involves single\u00ad or double\u00adstriking the keys. Repairing systems will require looking at the biggest blinky lights on the interface, and figuring out what key presses are required to guide the repair process.  If you can keep the ship going long enough, you\u2019ll make it back home to fame and fortune. Well, fortune, anyway: laying low for a little bit might be a good idea. If you fail one or two challenges, that\u2019s OK: you started out with a bit of a head start on your pursuit. But fail enough challenges, and you\u2019ll be killed in some variety of unfriendly way.","title":"Space Mashers"}
