A VERTICAL CLIMB
Stratos
A real rocket, climbing on thrust alone. Steer with the arrow keys or the on-screen buttons, hold boost to punch through gaps, watch for gravity wells that'll spin you out, and brace when the sky flashes. Wormholes will warp you somewhere random on screen — good luck or bad, your call whether to risk one. Grab a magnet and nearby fuel gets pulled straight to you for a few seconds. Past 3,000m, a nebula blast waits — most rockets make it through, but not all. Past 9,000m, an EMP pulse will scramble your controls for a few seconds. Keep an eye on your fuel too — it burns fast.
