Help! Rusty has found himself on a strange planet. He has discovered an old pink rocket that needs a few parts to work again. Thankfully there appears to be some old crafting benches and cooking pots to help him craft his way to freedom.

The Game Loop:

  1. Gather items in the overworld
  2. Get back to the den before night is done or you lose your stuff
  3. Craft quest items in the den to help Rusty fix the ship

Tips:

  • You can craft in the overworld to manage your inventory
  • If your hunger depletes, you are slow
  • If the day/night meter runs out, you lose the items you gathered that day
  • Your hunger fills up every time you exit the den
  • When you enter the den, your inventory is stored - Unlimited Storage Space!
  • You can upgrade your Inventory size, speed, and hunger bar in the den
