PILOT BRIEF / 004R

Find your bearings.

You're seated in the cockpit. The green characters belong to the asteroids' actual 3D surfaces. Fly past one and watch the parallax.

Steer
Arrow keys or WASD. On a phone, drag the left pad. Release to stop turning.
Thrust / brake
Hold Space / B, or the right-hand buttons. Release thrust to coast.
Pause / reset
P pauses. R returns to the start, stationary. No collisions or damage.

Keep steering gentle. Reduced-motion preference disables cockpit sway and asteroid rotation, and starts paused.
