Bob's astral delivery

Deliver the package. Pick the right gear. Pay the rent.

You're a space courier with a rented ship, a 3D printer and a very short life expectancy. Every day brings new contracts to strange planets: scorching deserts, frozen steppes, toxic marshes, deep oceans, lava fields and charged ion plains. The catch? You choose your gear before you know exactly what's waiting down there.

Bring a heat suit to a snow planet and you'll freeze. Skip the diving gear and land next to an ocean, and you'll wish you hadn't. Die, and you're reprinted back on the ship, but the gear you carried is gone and the rent is still due.

Pay off the ship to win. Fall behind on rent and you're evicted.

Features

• Procedurally generated planets built from mixed biomes, each with its own hazards
• 12 pieces of gear to unlock: suits, boots, helmets and a jetpack, each with real drawbacks
• Blueprints are permanent, printed gear is not: every death costs you
• Blind contracts: read the hints, and take your chances
• Rent every few days keeps you taking riskier, better-paying jobs

How to play

Controls (keyboard)

• Move: A / D or ← / →

On a phone or tablet, play in landscape with the on-screen controls. Keys can be rebound in Settings.

On the ship

1. Choose Delivery (package terminal): pick one of today's contracts. You only see the reward, the danger and the planet's main biome. 
2. Blueprint Shop: buy blueprints. They are yours forever.
3. Loadout (printer): pick what to wear for this run. Printing costs credits, but gear you bring back home is stored and reused for free.
4. Press LAUNCH.

On the planet

• Walk to the drop-off point at the far end of the world and step inside to deliver. The ship picks you up there.
• Watch the dial in the top-right corner: HP in the middle, with oxygen, heat, cold and toxicity around it. A full heat, cold or toxicity bar, or empty oxygen, starts eating your health. The edges of the screen glow when something is getting to you.
• The landing site and the drop-off are shelters: nothing can hurt you inside, and they undo what the planet did to you.
• Changed your mind? Abort Delivery is in the pause menu, but the ship takes a while to come. Wait for it on solid ground, out of the water, and stay alive until it arrives.

Tips

• The courier talks. When they say "ew, quite hot" or "I wish I had climbing shoes", listen.
• Each piece of gear has a cost: diving tanks make you heavy, liquid-walking boots slip on ice.
• Rent is due every few days. Keep enough credits for it before buying that shiny space suit.
• Water boots and lava boots let you walk on the surface. Hold down to dive in.
