About The long way home
Your ship is gone. You are a very long way from Earth, with a suit, a tank of fuel, and the air in your lungs. The Long Way Home is a game about thrust being precious and drift being free. Every burn spends fuel you may never replace, so the fastest route is rarely the straight one. Swing past a planet and let its gravity throw you onward for nothing, and keep the fuel for the moment you actually need it. Between you and home: abandoned supply stations, each holding one decisive resupply. Sealed containers you can crack open if you have the patience. Debris fields that will shred you at speed and let you pass at a crawl. VESTA, the assistance unit strapped to your chest, talks you through it. She is a machine and says so, and she will tell you when your heading is wrong. Get to Earth before the oxygen runs out. Then do it again, carrying cargo.
It's a straightforward adventure game that gets out of your way and lets you play. Use a device that supports the controls required by the game; not every browser edition supports touch input.
A couple of things help once you get going: If exploration is allowed, compare side routes with the current objective before leaving the main path. If character conversations are available, read them for possible objectives or clues.
