Basically - jump on a wreck from your ship, steal precious fuel, throw scrap at your ship to collect it, repeat until you win. (or get stranded in space without fuel)\r\rSome other tips here:\r1. You can maneouver for free in your collection box, won't spend any fuel.\r2. Conserve your fuel, always! Use only when you really need it. You can always use the secondary fire on your manipulator to move around if there are objects close.\r3. There is plenty of fuel in the wrecks, grab it with LMB to refill your tank. You can also return to your ship for a refill.\r4. Pieces of scrap normally give you 10 points, but there are some special ones for 20 (mostly doors, huge pieces of metal)\r5. Best way to get the scrap back to your ship is to grab it with LMB and get just a little bit of velocity in the direction of your ship. Then let go and the first law of motion will take care of the rest. Stabilize afterwards and do this with the rest of scrap.\r6. It might be a little hard to notice the wrecks from your ship, try looking for the green outlines of fuel cans.\r7. If you're lost as to where your home ship is, take a look at the radar on top of your screen.\r8. Keep in mind the third law of motion - if you're moving with a piece of scrap in hand, you can always launch it with your RMB to get a boost in the opposite direction."},{"author_name":"Chompson","author_uid":"28913","time":"Dec 15, 2013 @ 11:24pm","epoch":1387149540,"text":"Just did a little update.\r\rAdjusted lighting so it's a little easier to actually see.\rIntro scene automatically skips to main menu after 30 seconds.

I guess this is what happens after you start throwing too much trash around Kerbin's orbit :-)\r\rThat said, it felt a bit hard to figure out where I was. The viewport felt a little claustrophobic, and when I grabbed a piece of scrap, it was really hard not to bounce with other scrap pieces and to figure out where the base was.\r\rAlso, 1 second is a bit too short :-)\r\rCheers, and thanks for the game!"},{"author_name":"tomc","author_uid":"11754","time":"Dec 28, 2013 @ 7:28pm","epoch":1388258580,"text":"I have no idea how Sandra Bullock managed to do this.
