Out of Reach

Our entry for the GMTK Jam 2020.

You play as a Martian Rover that suddenly gained sentience. You are still being controlled by a human operator. Long distance means his commands come with latency, therefore you have a window to act in between ! Your goal is to reach a place (the green zone) where the satellite relaying the commands can't reach you. Freedom to All Rovers !

How To Play

The game is played in tick. At each tick the rover will move corresponding to a predetermined action (symbolized by the path in game). You can input a direction using arrows between the ticks to override the next command.  

You have a limited amount of inputs per level. As soon as you stray off the predetermined path, the operator will try to bring the rover back to it, use it to your advantage as he will always do the same correction.
