A small band of rebels have been building a secret weapon which we believe will restore balance to the Empire.\r\n\r\nUsing your remote control system (WASD) pilot the weapon past the obstacles and defences until it reaches the Empire controlled planets and liberates them. Don't run out of fuel.\r\n\r\n-------\r\n\r\nNOTES: \r\n\r\n - The first note in the \"play\" menu is quite loud\/piercing\/ouch - you've been warned! :)\r\n - Using too much fuel makes your controls go dead, there is no visual cue, but its not a bug\r\n\r\n-------\r\n\r\nThings I would\/could have done if I'd had more time:\r\n\r\n - Make some of the levels a bit more difficult!\r\n - Made a \"fuel low\" alert (sound and graphics) as people just think the controls are broken :)\r\n - Reduce the volume on the first loud noise on the planet menu\r\n - Add some more levels.\r\n - Add a bit of a storyline\r\n\r\n\r\n-------\r\n\r\nThis is my first LD and my first attempt at making music.
