Thrust 101

[retrogoober]

I am so 'average' at this game but want to get better, any strategies out there anyone can share?

 

I am HUNG on Mission 3, getting the capsule past that first bottleneck at the bottom, my only strategy is to 'blast' right through it then brake, BUT the orb starts to revolve most of the time then BOOM:) This is where I burn most of my lives, HAVE ONLY REACHED MISSION 5!

 

AWESOME game, ass hard, I do LOVE gravity games, starting with gravitar

 

Any help appreciated!

You probably move (thrust) too fast there. Go besides the bottleneck, then point the ship up and slightly right. The ships will move right and the orb will follow but at an angle. So the total vertical height of both is reduced. Then point the ship slightly left to stop the horizontal movement.

 

If you do this gentle enough, this should be easy.

 

Also look out for some expert's video about Thrust. E.g.

That did it, thank you masked stranger:) Breezed right into Mission 5 on first try after 1 lifeing Mission 3.
