Descent

Starts at 4× zoom and 15 gen/s. The playing area is also a trackpad: touch anywhere in the world and drag relative to where you first touched to steer With. Tap Map to inspect the intact starting world; movement is disabled while the map is open, but a running simulation and clock continue. The visible joystick mirrors your direction, including diagonals. You can still use the joystick directly. Rate and Zoom remain below the world. Use the top-right Restart button during a run. Release starts on. Each specimen collected earns one 15-glider burst; tap Release beside Zoom to fire it.

Use the arrow keys to move With; hold two directions for diagonals. Press M to inspect the intact starting world; movement is disabled while the map is open, but a running simulation and clock continue. Use 1 2 3 4 5 / Q W E R for Rate: 0, 1, 5, 10, 15 / 20, 30, 45, 60 gen/s. Use A S D F for zoom: 1×, 2×, 4×, 8×. Press Z to toggle 1× ↔ 4×, V to restart, and X to fire a 15-glider burst when a specimen has been collected. Use +/− to step through zooms.
