Features:

• classic gravity-based lander gameplay

Arne's Space Taxi v0.16

Gravity-based space taxi game written in LUA

This is a version of the classic space taxi game written by Arne Schwettmann in LUA, making use of the LÖVE game framework. It is written for LÖVE 0.10.2.

Try the 5 player mode.

Pre-compiled executables for Windows and OSX are in the bin directory. To compile from source under Windows, simply drag the src directory onto Love.exe version 0.10.2. For more information on LÖVE, visit love2d.org.

NOTE: Since v16 the game works in a very rudimentary way on Android using love2d from the Play Store. However it needs an external controller and a custom virtual keyboard or real keyboard to set the options. I use "Hacker's Keyboard" permanent notification setting (set it to primary input device), to force the keyboard to open within Love. This allows one to change controls to Joystick 1, and to start a game. Hold the '1' key pressed for a while for it to work.
