## In short

Starskim is a 3D sci-fi racing game. A ship flies forward between tall pale blocks while a counter tracks the distance, a record screen shows your meters and credits after every crash, and a shop lists ships with their prices.

**How to control it:** Press PLAY. The ship flies forward on its own; use the arrow keys to try to steer between the blocks and watch the Distance box at the top left. After a crash the record screen shows your distance and credits; press Restart to fly again, Store to open the ship shop or Exit to return to the start screen.

## Tips

- Expect short runs. All twelve of our runs ended in a crash within nine seconds.
- Do not count on a steering key. Distances from 143 to 518 meters came up with and without keys.
- Credits did not come easily: our runs collected none, and the shop stayed locked.
