Somewhere in deep space... After a long journey exploring the galaxy, you find yourself stranded on a small, unknown planet; one not even listed in your navigation charts. Looks like your only hope is to find help to repair your spaceship so you can continue your trip and finally get back home.
Jump: You're stranded on a low gravity planet - but you still have some control on how high you can jump.
Health: Keep an eye on your health meter. The items that recover your health are scarce; use them only when you're in need.
Ray Gun: This is a powerful weapon but, once fired, it needs time to recharge. Choose your targets wisely!
O - Left, P - Right, Q - Jump, SPACE - Fire
