How to Play
How to Play Space Traveler

Space traveler is a fairly simple game to play.  You are a traveler traveling through the galaxy at high speeds.  Your ship is designed to collect stars for it's fuel.  The object of this game is to collect all of the stars before either crashing into one, or into another ship, or running out of fuel.

You start playing by selecting New from the Game menu.  Before starting, you may wish to select the number of stars and the starting level.  These options are located in the Skill menu.  The default settings are for the beginner, which is 30 stars and the first starting level.

Controlling your Ship

Use your arrow keys to control the ship.  The right and left arrow keys move the ship right and left.  The ship moves as long as you hold down the key.  The up and down arrow keys can vary your speed slightly.  Use the down arrow key to get a boost in speed and use the up arrow key to slow down.  These keys only allow you to change speed temporarily within the area of the playing screen.

Catching and Avoiding Stars

You want to make sure not to move sideways into a passing star.  You can not hit a star with your ship!  You can only catch stars with the scoop sticking out on the left side of your ship, as indicated by the red arrow in the image below:

As you travel

As the game goes along, it keeps getting a little faster by advancing automatically to the next level.  You will see another ship traveling somewhat along the same route as yourself.  They do not shoot at you and are not hostile.  You can not shoot at them either.  Everyone is civilized and gets along well in this part of the galaxy, but they are not all paying attention to what they're doing!  You must keep from crashing into the other travelers because they are not looking out for other ships.  It is your responsibility to avoid a collision with them.  If you hit them, or even get too close, you will crash.

Pausing the Game

Press the Pause key to pause the game, or to resume playing when the game is already paused.  The game will automatically pause itself when you touch a system key combination, or in other words, the Alt key.  Press the Escape key to immediately pause and minimize the game, AKA the Boss key!  The caption will note when the game is paused.

If you need any other assistance, please feel free to write.  Any suggestions are welcome and may be included in the registered versions!  When you register, you will receive the latest version if available.  You will also receive notice when newer versions become available.

This is a game where you land on all the planets in our solar system, the Earth's moon, and on an asteroid.

When you complete this mission and return to the mother ship, you will find it invaded by tentacle creatures!
