Editorial overview
What it is
You're doomed to destruction - the only way out is by shuttle. Collect 8 fuel cans, find and destroy the launch retainer switches and blast off. But hurry - there's not much time!
The premise
Deep in space lies Anfractuos - a thick crusted planetoid once mined for its valuable deposits of Cryanium. But the solar system it is in has become unstable and it is feared that its sun is about to go supernova. All humans have been evacuated and all that is left behind are the mines and an abandoned mining droid trying to escape.
In order to escape he must collect 8 fuel cans to enable the shuttle to blast to safety, but it won't be easy! The wildlife is composed of negative energy and any contact will deplete your energy cells, but they're a protected species so be careful when you shoot them or you'll pay for it later. You can replenish your energy pack from power points around the mine and use lifts units, but due to lackof maintenance the equipment is starting to malfunction.
The escape shuttle is restrained by 4 switches which have to be found and disabled - an operation which will start a countdown reaction, so hurry back or it will leave without you!
