DAYSIDE

You are the last remaining member of an ill-fated scientific expedition to Vulcan, a newly discovered planet. Vulcan, orbiting even closer to the sun than Mercury, has great potential for solar power research and production; unfortunately, a massive solar flare has totally obliterated the rest of your landing party, leaving your chances of survival extremely slim.

All hope is not lost, however. There is one remaining ship on the planet capable of returning you to earth. This ship is located in the side of Vulcan closest to the sun; your only option is to attempt to reach it, taking cover from the incredibly intense light of the sun behind pieces of your destroyed scientific station.

Your suit can protect you from the sun for a certain amount of time; this is signified by the green bar on you HUD. when this green bar is depleted, you will begin to take damage. The green bar can be recharged while you are in the shade of rubble. Click on rubble to take cover behind it, then move behind the rubble with the w, a ,s and d keys (see controls). YOU MUST MOVE ALL THE WAY TO THE EDGE OF A PIECE OF RUBBLE BEFORE JUMPING AWAY FROM IT.

Making things even more difficult, security robots guard the ship. Their circuits have been scrambled by cosmic radiation, and they will treat you as an intruder. You have jury-rigged together a transmitter which will deactivate the robots' shields, leaving them at the mercy of the sun; click a robot to activate the transmitter. Some robots may require multiple hits to destroy. YOU MUST MOVE ALL THE WAY TO THE EDGE OF A PIECE OF RUBBLE BEFORE ATTACKING.
