RESOURCE X

Please read your onboarding notes below before operating to know how to properly use the ship! 

we didn't have time to fully balance all of the features so if you try to figure it out on your own it might be kind of hard depends on ur skill B)

Earth’s role as a host for life has crumbled. Humanity must find a way to BEGIN ANEW among the stars. Promethos has been marked as a planet of interest, carrying large quantities of the newly-identified Resource X: a fuel source much more potent than any of Earth’s natural resources. You have been assigned the salvation of humanity - navigate to Resource X - will you live up to the task?

Made for the Fiat Ludum 2025 game jam.

Tips

Play the game by typing commands (using your actual keyboard) on screen. If you ever are confused on a command, type 'help' and enter. This will list out the possible commands you need. If you want more information on a certain command, type 'help' and then the command after. For example:  yourname@KetexOS:~$ help camera

Stuck on how to fix the rover (get rid of the red beeping)?

Power

Connect the two power endpoints by building a wired path. Your path must touch all nodes of the batteries in a limited number of moves. Batteries light up when successfully linked. 

Communication

Send signals from the ship to rover. The blinking arrow indicates the initial direction of the signal. Activate reflection points along the path by pressing [ENTER] to toggle if you want the reflection to be tilted left, right, or removed.  Redirect the signal with these reflection points and ensure the signal passes through all packets before reaching the rover. Press [ENTER] on the starting satellite to start the signal.

Vents

Additionally, due to the dangerous dust storms on the planet, make sure to properly manage the vents using 'vents open' and 'vents close'. Listen carefully to the wind to ensure the storm has passed before opening the vents again. Hint: when lights start flashing more intensely, your vents should be closed.

Speedrunning Tips:

Some of the commands have shortened versions you can use, including: camera = cam, status = stats/stat, power = pow.

Known Bugs:

Using the arrow keys during the mini-games interferes with the terminal history, so we recommend you stick to WASD instead of arrow keys.
