HOW TO PLAY
FIELD MANUAL

You're K-7, a little maintenance bot on a long journey home.

HOLD anywhere to fire your tether at the highlighted clamp. RELEASE to let go and fly. Let go on the upswing for height; the timing has a little grace either side.

Keep holding while you fly and you catch the next clamp the moment it is in reach. Grab again quickly to chain a FLOW combo, which multiplies shards.

Four stages: escape The Deep, climb The Elevator cable, cross Open Space (low gravity, you drift) and climb The Ship (heavy gravity near the warp core). Each stage has its own physics, told to you on the stage card.

Cable clamp. Safe to grab.
Rusted clamp. Breaks soon after you grab it.
Red hazards (live junctions, storm cells, ion crystals, mines). Touching one fails the stage.
Orange glow (rubble, drones, security bots, birds, debris, turret bolts, sweeps). Knocks you off course. Watch for warning markers.

The Murk chases you through every stage: a flood, smog, a void storm, an engine wash. Touching it or falling off the bottom fails the stage. Reaching a stage's goal saves your progress. Replay any reached stage from the Journey Map for a better time and more stars. The pause button is always top centre.

PREAMBLE
The goals of the Open Font License (OFL) are to stimulate worldwide

fonts, including any derivative works, can be bundled, embedded,
redistributed and/or sold with any software provided that any reserved

however, cannot be released under any other type of license. The
requirement for fonts to remain under this license does not apply
to any document created using the fonts or their derivatives.

The ship drops out of warp over a small blue world. K-7 rolls down the ramp into a little workshop with the lights still on.

"Welcome home, little bot."
