About Lost in the Distance
Lost-in-the-Distance My first game created for the 2021 js13k space themed competition. You are lost in the distant space within an asteroid field with only enough fuel to travel a limited distance. (Game can be a bit challenging.) W/Up-Arrow: Accelerate A,D/Left,Right-Arrows: Turning Enter: Starting or Restarting game when prompt
Lost in the Distance was submitted to the js13kGames 2021 competition by Ethan Chung. It earned competition recognition. Like every js13k entry, the entire game — code, art, and audio — fits in 13 kilobytes, a constraint that rewards focused, clever design over bulk. Collect more fuel in order to travel farther.
