Core loop

The main loop of the game is to manuver the hover craft with three simple commands from point A ->B then back to A. You can apply thrust with space which moves the hover craft in the direction the top is pointing towards. You can also rotate the hover craft to control in which direction you want to apply thrust.

Obstacles

There is only a few safe areas for the hovercraft to interact with. In this game they are the blue platforms and the green ones. Everything else will result in the craft crashing and the level restarting.

The green obstacles can be pushed by the player to open up new pathways.
