Video on YT about this program is HERE.
The spaceship is stranded with only enough fuel for one last short engine burn; help it get back to the space station by selecting the correct angle using the left & right cursor keys then pressing [Enter] to ignite the engine, using the gravity of the surrounding planets to get it home. Watch out for the black hole – it’s barely visible but has a very strong gravitational field!
There are 30 levels, and each level has only one solution. At the beginning of the game, you can skip to a later level by entering the appropriate 4-letter code – otherwise, just press [Enter] to start at level 1.
