Blight Io

Shoot the seeders before the blight takes the moon.

A 3d Shooter /lander in the lineage of Zarch (David Braben, 1987). You fly a hovering craft over the moon Io while alien seeders sow a blight across the ground. Shoot them down, fire homing missiles, and plant seed pods of your own to take the ground back. Land on the pad to restock.

The moon you leave is the moon you inherit. The blight is not cleared between waves.

 Mouse preffered E to drop Seed pods

Play with a gamepad if you have one.   The left stick tilts the ship, and a self-centring stick makes flying far easier. Mouse works too: the ship tilts toward the pointer and thrust follows the tilt.

Controls

• Gamepad: left stick tilts, RT or A thrusts, RB or X fires, LB or B fires a missile, LT plants a seed pod
• Mouse: left fire, middle thrust, right missile (press C to switch button layouts)
• Keys: M missile, E seed pod, P pause, F fullscreen, R render mode, Q menu

Every model, texture and sound is synthesised live in the browser. No samples, no engine, one HTML file.
