If you're on an Android phone, you can play directly on this page! If you're on iPhone click the link below which will take you to the direct HTML source hosted by Itch. iPhones don't allow WebGL apps to use your Gyroscope unless playing on the original source, this is a bit of a hack but it works!

You are a rough and tumble duo of space pirates that just arrived at the most well trafficked shipping lanes in the galaxy during the busiest shipping day of the year.

You only have 5 minutes to rob as many trains as you can and escape before anyone knows what hit em!

One of you will be the ace pilot; you'll need good aim and a knack for evasive flying to excel behind the wheel.

The other will be the cunning navigator. You'll need a great sense of direction and a quick wit to navigate these parts of space, especially with the Galaxy Positioning System turned off to avoid detection.

This is a co-op game that you can play with no internet at all!

Both players should angle their phones in the same direction when pressing the direction synchronization button. This will help when communicating directions (use directions in the room "It's above you" or "it's over here!" pointing towards a wall). MOST IMPORTANTLY, it's absolutely vital that you start the game at the SAME TIME. This will synchronize your games and allow the Navigator to provide real-time information to the Pilot.

The goal of the game is to collect as much cargo as possible by stealing it from trains. The Pilot and Navigator must work together to target the best trains at the right time and make it out. You only have 5 minutes to get in and out!

Controls

Mobile (Preferred way to play)

The camera is turned by rotating your phone physically in both roles.

Pilot
MOVE -> Tap and drag on the left side like a virtual joystick
SHOOT a laser beam -> Tap the button that says SHOOT
WARP to a location seen by the Navigator -> Tap the button that says WARP

Navigator
Tap on routes, trains, and warp positions for more info on them.

NOTE ON WARPING: Somewhere in the galaxy you'll see a spiky rotating and growing indicator, this is where the Pilot will warp if they hit the Warp button. If that's near a train be sure to let them know! This position changes every 15 seconds.

 
NOTE: You can play on PC but Mobile is better!
PC (Make sure to click on the main menu that you are on PC)

Navigator

Click on routes, trains, and warp positions for more info on them.

NOTE ON WARPING: Somewhere in the galaxy you'll see a spiky rotating and growing indicator, this is where the Pilot will warp if they hit the Warp button. If that's near a train be sure to let them know! This position changes every 15 seconds.

Other ways to play:

I recommend playing with one Navigator and one Pilot but here are some other ways to play:

Super Info (3+ Players): More than one Navigator guides a single Pilot and cooperate to get the best info to the Pilot at the same time.

Head-to-Head (3 Players): One Navigator will guide two Pilots at the same time, best score wins! 

Actually Prepared (1 Player): Run through the game once as a Navigator, take notes of the best routes and trains, then use the same game code to run the game as Pilot and see how good you can do.

Every asset (texture, 3D model, sound, nonstandard shader etc) in this game was made by me, no AI-made or premade assets were used...except fonts (they were downloaded from free font sources) because fonts are extremely annoying to make by hand.
