SPACE CAPSTAR II

About

My name is Randolph. Randolph Clark Rodriguez. They call me “The Invincible Randy” on the space convoy circuit, but you can just call me Randy.

I roam the galaxy on my trusty ship, the Capstar II, fueled by dreams, passion, adventure, and the promise of cold, hard cash. My job is hard to explain, but in a nutshell, I’m a jack-of-all-trades who takes on any request under the suns. My latest task is to collect the rare mineral called Red Krypton from Point K9. I hear, though, that the last fellow sent to Point K9 never returned… Something tells me that there’s more to this mission than they’re letting on. Nevertheless, today finds me and my faithful Capstar II headed for the four planets that make up Point K9.

After all, it’s there I may find dreams, passion, adventure… and a sweet, sweet 40,000,000 Space Credits.

The game begins when the Capstar II arrives on the planet. Click to separate the pod from the mother ship. Your Capstar Pod will rotate following the movements of the mouse cursor. Click to fire your boosters. Maneuver your Capstar Pod through the stages to accomplish your mission, carefully taking gravity and acceleration into account.
If the Capstar Pod hits a wall or an obstacle, it will take damage and leak a certain amount of fuel. Using your boosters will also consume fuel, so be careful not to run out of fuel as you navigate. If your fuel runs out, it’s game over for Captain Randy.

Each mission is comprised of four stages. 

Stage 1+2: Move deeper into the mineshaft
Stage 3: Retrieve the item you’re here for
Stage 4: Dock with mother ship

In the first two stages, when you’re navigating through the space mine, the stage is cleared when the Capstar Pod reaches the arrows. The retrieval stages are cleared when you reach the rare Red Krypton. The docking stages are cleared once you move the Capstar Pod into the docking area in front of the mother ship. However, your speed must be below a certain level, or you will be unable to dock.
