The Legend of Purple Dot - Epsidoe 1: Purple Dot the Explorer by philomory

[raw]
made by philomory for LD16 (COMPO)
Due to the time constraints I found myself under this weekend, this is really more of a toy than an actual game per se. Never the less, it does work. I think it's kinda cute, and hey, it's not all crashy and terrible like my LD15 entry!

run_windows.bat to start, Arrow keys to move, space to restore fuel, r to restart, escape to quit. See the Readme for the story (and nicely formatted instructions).

Instructions for running on OS X and Linux in the future, though if you're familiar with ruby I bet you can figure it out (hint: gem install gosu; ruby -rubygems LD16.rb)

(EDIT: Just changed the source link so it would always point to the LD48 version in the repository, rather than tip, which changes.)
