rymdsond (work in progress)

Guide a rover that has crash landed on a distant uncharted planet. With limited battery power your goal is to find a way to send a signal back to earth about your findings.

Based on 2016 7DRL Challenge game cr@sh by Picardy Third Entertainment

Controls

Arrow keys - Move rover along a conduit
Hold Z key/O button - Place/remove current item. Use together with arrow key to place on tile at that direction. Activate a building when on top of it.
Hold X key/X button  - Bring up inventory, use an item with down key

Tips

  • You begin with conduit selected and can build it by holding down Z-key/O button and an arrow key to place the next conduit.
  • Your first priority is to find a solar cell. It will provide power for the core and rover before they run out of battery power.
  • Try to ping with the radar to find equipment that has been lost during the crash. Press down while inventory is open and radar is selected to do a radar ping.
  • You can activate the camera the same way as radar, keep in mind it uses up more power while doing so. 
  • Crates provide supplies for your rover. Run over it and press Z key/O button to collect the supplies. There are no limits to the inventory.
  • If you happen to run out of conduits, you can pick them up again by toggling the mode in inventory (by pressing down while inventory is up).
  • All items can be placeable (except for the drill) instead of being used from the rover. When placed on the ground, they have double the range and don't use the battery power from the rover.
