c = 300000000 m/s, the speed of light. Not even the fastest thing in the universe traveling at 1c can escape the gravitational pull of a black hole, which means you’ll have to go even faster. Find pickups across a system of planets that increase your speed limit, and use gravity to reach speeds nothing has ever dared go!

Instructions

• FLY your Spaceship using "W" and Mouse
• BOOST using "A", its effects are amplified near the gravitational field of planets.
• SPACE to slow down, don’t worry you can always speed back up!
• Generally, you are pressing “W” very frequently to redirect your current velocity and steer, holding “A” frequently to boost near planets, and SPACE to slow down while entering/in an orbit.
• Get to 1.01c before the critical mass expansion, speed up by BOOSTing near planets!
• Collect RIFT pickups that increase your speed limit.
• Your calculated trajectory is always drawn to the screen, use it to get in and out of orbits. Pink lines point to the closest planet, follow them (or don’t).
• Stay away from the mysterious central body, or use it to your advantage.

Features

• Advanced Gravity Simulation that allows you to easily get into planetary orbit
• Astrophysics integrator calculates your trajectory in realtime, although it can’t divide by zero.
• Slingshot yourself across the planets in order to gain momentum
• Collectibles that increase your speed limit

These are some known bugs we are actively working on fixing. Stay tuned for updates!

• The singularity shows as a big pink sphere. It is in fact a singularity and is very scary
