Endless Venture

You are on an endless venture in a old scrappy ship, flying all over space to achieve quota

Time is not on your side, the ship is slowly decaying and outdates

Try to manipulate this ancient ship and leave forgotten world

Controls

  • WASD: walk around the cabin
  • Mouse: look around
  • Shift: run
  • Space: jump
  • Left mouse button: grab and use things
  • Esc: pause and settings

Running the ship

  1. Fuel the furnace. Take the shovel, scoop coal and throw it into the furnace. Each lump burns for a while, and the steam gauge shows how much burn time is left. Keep the furnace door closed so the coal burns slower.
  2. Get moving. Hold left click on the clutch lever and drag to engage it. Then pull the gear lever.
  3. Shift up. Wait until the speedometer needle reaches the green band, then pull the next gear. Shift too early and the clutch breaks loose. Overheating burns coal faster.
  4. Steer. Hold left click on the wheel to turn the ship. The panel buttons aim the outside camera, and the brake slows you down.
  5. Release steam. When the gauge runs into the red, turn the valve to let pressure out.

Watch the minimap and its distance rings to find crystals. Avoid the spikes. Collect every crystal to meet your quota.
