Mars Orbital is an action arcade 3d video game. The objective is simple: collect as
many glowing powerups as you can to get the highest score while avoiding falling
off the edge of the space station into the atmosphere of Mars.
Click the PLAY GAME button to start the game. Use the ARROW KEYS to move around.
To avoid falling into space, press the up arrow key long enough to generate some speed,
then run into a curved "wall" to gain altitude, just like riding a skateboard.
While in the air, tap the up arrow key a few times to gain forward momentum
and aim for the next platform. If you go too fast, you may overshoot the next platform -
to slow down while in mid air tap the down arrow key. If you are about to fall off the edge,
press the spacebar to activate your jump-jets.
