How to play The long way home

Everything is also an on-screen button, so it plays with a mouse, a keyboard or a touchscreen. DRAG anywhere to look around and aim. ENGINE or SPACE burns the main thruster — short taps, fuel is finite. STOP or X flips you around and burns retrograde; it is the only way to slow down out here. DRIFT or Z lays you flat along your heading, which streamlines you and lets you sidestep rock. ION DRIVE or V is a weak electric thrust that runs on battery instead of fuel. SCAN or F lights up nearby supplies and charts debris fields onto your map. REPAIR or T patches the suit. TAB, or a tap on the small map, opens the planning map — pick a destination there and your scanner becomes a compass. The AIM ONLY / HOLD = THRUST switch changes whether dragging also fires the engine.
