Escape Velocity Arcade

Pilot your ship through treacherous cosmic caverns. Grab gold clocks for five seconds off your time, and mind the fuel - the deep caves run long.

Navigate your spaceship through perilous cosmic caverns in this challenging precision flight game. One wrong move and you'll crash into the unforgiving cave walls!

KEY FEATURES

• Precision Controls - Master thrust and rotation to navigate tight spaces • 100 Caverns - Progress through increasingly challenging cosmic environments • Variable Gravity - Adapt your piloting skills to different gravitational forces • Time Trials - Every level is a race against the clock • Time Orbs - Bronze, silver and gold clocks take 1, 3 or 5 seconds off your time • Fuel Management - A finite tank whose weight changes how your ship handles • Refuelling Stops - Set down gently on a ledge to fill the tank • Global Leaderboards - Fastest time on every level, plus an overall ranking • See Where You Stand - After every escape, how many places you climbed and who to beat next • Progressive Difficulty - Start easy, but later levels will test your skills

GAMEPLAY

Your mission: Launch from the landing pad and pilot your ship safely to the exit at the top of each cavern. Sounds simple? Think again. You'll need perfect timing, steady nerves, and precise control to avoid the treacherous cave walls.

Time orbs are scattered up every cavern, tucked against the walls away from the safe line. Each one takes time off the clock: bronze for one second, silver for three, gold for five. The further off the line an orb sits, the more it is worth - so every cavern becomes a running argument between the direct route and the detour.

And watch your fuel. A full tank makes your ship sluggish, an empty one leaves you falling, and the deeper caverns run longer than a single tank will carry you. Refuelling is a landing: ledges hang in alcoves cut into the rock, and setting down slowly and upright fills the tank. Arrive fast or leaning and you wreck the ship.

Every stop you make is the point you come back to. A crash costs you five seconds instead of the whole climb - so the question is how far you dare push between ledges.

After every escape you see where you stand: how many places you climbed, who is just ahead, and how far you have to go to catch them.

Each level features unique layouts and gravity settings that demand different strategies. Every pilot flies the exact same caverns, so the leaderboards are a fair fight. Can you master them all?

Perfect for fans of classic arcade games and physics-based challenges. Easy to learn, difficult to master!
