Re: Games You Can't Lose

Recovering from the first delights and transferring the spirit, you can
proceed directly to the game. From the very beginning, quite unusual
control makes itself felt - even using a gamepad, it will take some time
to adjust. In weightlessness, it is not necessary to always keep the
engines of the spacesuit on - enough short pulses to start slowly but
surely move towards the target. It is not recommended to "gas" too
because the amount of oxygen for breathing is directly related to the
fuel for the engines. A little did not keep track of - the stock drops to
critical values, the heroine begins to choke convulsively and has to
"restart". Lack of oxygen is felt all the time; it's good that among the
wreckage of the station there are always small capsules, thanks to
which it is possible to hold out a little more.

After a while, the constant pursuit of air begins to irritate. To admire the
beauties especially there is no time - we need to look for flashes of
beacons, which designate oxygen capsules, and convulsively click on
the scanner button so that it illuminates on the screen and radar a
place where it is possible to replenish the reserves. Over time, the
volume of the respiratory mixture stored in the suit can be increased,
but even then its search remains a priority for our astronaut.
