How to play

You should read this tutorial before starting your gameplay. You will learn how to play, what you can find in the universe and how to use it properly.

Basics​

After joining your first universe you will appear at spawn. This is the center of your procedurally generated world and the default respawn point. Hold space, left shift (turbo) or left alt (brake) to activate your engine. The spaceship will always rotate towards your cursor.

You can obtain items by picking them up or by drilling in asteroids. Items are collected using LMB and placed using RMB. You can extend/retract your drill by pressing R.

Navigation​

You can find coordinates on top of the screen. When you click on the rectangle, it will switch to compass and display direction of your respawn point.

Controls​

Here is the list of all controls in the game:

Crafting​

Crafting can be opened by pressing E. All available recipes are present in the left UI segment.

Upgrades​

Upgrades can be found in the right UI segment along with backpack and junkyard. They allow you to make your spaceship better and stronger.

Every feature can be upgraded up to 5 times. The first upgrade costs 5 gold, then 10, 15, 20 and 25.

Backpack​

Backpack is present in the right UI segment. To unlock it, at least one backpack upgrade is needed. Backpack contains the artefact slot too, which is always unlocked.

To insert item into backpack press the ^ button over the item slot.

• LMB - to move all items
• RMB - to move only one item

When you want to get the item back, click the slot in the backpack.

Junkyard​

You can discard items using junkyard. It can be found in the right UI segment. The discard slot works pretty much like slots in backpack, but after pressing discard button, all contained items will be removed.

Health​

You can see your health bar in the upper UI segment. When you lose health, it will regenerate quite fast, but you can use some potions to regain part of it instantly.

Exploding will result in losing all of your items and upgrades. It can be prevented by having keep inventory enabled or playing more carefully.

Respawn​

The respawn point can be set using respawn item craftable from copper and gold.

Storages​

If you want to store your treasures in a safe location, you can craft and place a storage. Using LMB and RMB you will be able to transfer items between storage and your inventory.

Bullets​

Bullets are commonly used to deal damage. There are currently 5 types of them available for player use. Damage presented in the table can be increased through upgrades.

Name	Icon	Damage	Cooldown	Speed	DPS	Description
Copper		3	0.14s	0.45	21.42	A default bullet made out of copper.
Red		4	0.14s	0.45	28.57	A stronger bullet made out of red stone.
Wind		3	0.20s	0.60	15.00	A bullet, which pushes enemies away.
Fire		3*	0.20s	0.40	15.00*	A bullet, which sets enemies on fire. Starandus is immune to it.
Unstable		10	0.28s	0.40	35.71	A piece of unstable matter, very dangerous. Degenerator and players wearing unstable artefact are immune to it.

* Fire bullets set enemies on fire, which deals additional damage.

Potions​

Potions can give you some very useful effects. They can be obtained by combining common materials with magic ingredients in crafting, but it is also possible to get them from treasures. See all of them in the table below:

Boss fights​

To summon a boss, put 10 amethyst into a special bedrock storage in the center of any arena and click BATTLE. You need to dodge boss attacks and attack it with your own bullets.

If for some reason you want to stop the battle, you can resign by pressing escape and clicking button Give Up. However, this way you will waste your amethyst.

After defeating a boss three times (boss becomes harder every time you defeat it), you will be granted with one artefact, which you can wear and get some special powers. There are currently 5 types of bosses. Every one of them is presented in the table below.

ID	Boss	Image	Description
1	Protector		There are gosspis, that it is Protector, which is regularly seen on Earth. Anyway, it's just a regular UFO, nothing too spectacular... right?
2	Adecodron		It's neither the machine, nor the alien, but it's certainly very dangerous with its spikes, poisonous attacks and the very high speed.
3	Octogone		The giant octopus-like monster from the other dimension. However, this creature really dislikes being called a space octopus.
4	Starandus		The machine so advanced, that it was able to compress a star and use the nuclear fusion as the unlimited source of power.
6	Degenerator		It is said, that Degenerator is actually the evil version of Protector, but nobody knows how it exactly became such.

Artefacts​

Artefacts give you some special powers when you wear them. Every boss drops a specific one after it is defeated three times. You can pick up the artefact and move it into a special slot using button SET.

Icon	Artefact	Boss	Description
	Protection	Protector	The super health bar upgrade. It improves your health by 25%, speeds up health regeneration by 50% and reduces health regeneration cooldown by half.
	Impulse	Adecodron	Allows you to make impulses, when you have enough power. You can use it for attack, defense or just for fun.
	Illusion	Octogone	Allows you to become invisible to bosses and other players. It makes you 20% faster and immune to crash damage when active.
	Immortality	Starandus	When you wear it and die, you won't die, but your artefact will turn gray. Recharge it by exposing it to star wind.
	Unstable	Degenerator	That's a mystery. All ancient notes were lost. Figure it out by yourself, but do not kill anyone by accident.
