But their problem : with the expansion of the galactic internet, they meet friends and family members from other tiny worlds and so the need for transport between these worlds increased. This is why you've created a brand-new service : the galactic taxis. You are one of these galactic taxi-driver and you must transport people from world to world in a certain amount of time while avoiding meteorits. Also, be sure to not land to fast!\r\n\r\nNote: the build is currently only for Linux and for distribution which have Allegro5 in their repository (which means not a lot... I can only say for the moment that ArchLinux does). I think I'll have to do a static compile... ouch.\r\nFor Windows, I don't have one right now, I'll create a build on Tuesday 24.\r\n\r\nA video of the gameplay could be watched here : http:\/\/remeh.fr\/files\/galactictaxi.ogv<\/p>","title":"Galactic Taxi"}
