Planety Manatee

Planety Manatee - a game of cycles

You are a peaceful baby space manatee cycling in orbit around your planetary mother. Eat plants, asteroids, and moons to grow up. Avoid crashing into mother, you'll never be able to take off again! Become big enough to become a planet and have a baby of your very own - continue the cycle of life.

Controls:

As a planety manatee, your only way to maneuver is by expelling gases that you produce

• UP - belly gas pushes you "up", changing the shape of your orbit
  
• RIGHT - flatulence increases your speed, making your orbit larger
• LEFT - belches slow you down, making you fall more quickly

Tips and tricks:

• Belly gas pushing you up is your most versatile tool. When in doubt, do this!
• Speeding up is very powerful, but uses up your gas faster. Watch your orbit and leave space to correct any problems.
• Green is good, red is bad
• You can change orbit directions by doing a long belly burn... belly flop!
