PICO Space

v1.2
Defend the animals of the galaxy from the space weevil invasion in your grandad's space taxi!
Check the notice boards at space stations for prospective passengers. Gain rewards when they're delivered safely and discover how to defeat the weevil menace.
The galaxy is quickly becoming a more and more dangerous place so be careful out there - with 50-70 systems and some questionable government policies an animal needs to look after themselves!
Please report any bugs or if something is unclear below. Feedback helps me improve and is always welcome :)
Controls

Main Menu

Use Up, Down and X to select options in the menus.
ReturnStartP will always take you to the Main Menu
Hold ReturnStartP for longer to access the normal PICO-8 menu.

I recommend a gamepad if you have one, but keys work fine too. Holding the X and O buttons together is useful to use the ship flip ability successfully. On mobile, I've found swiping my thumb backwards and forwards between the X and O buttons works okay, but it does seem easier to play with keys or a gamepad (to me at least).
Starting the Game

Use the up and down directions to highlight an option and X to select it.

Begin New Game - starts a new game with the currently show captain in a new galaxy (Captain Magerquack by default).
Change Captain - chooses a new captain and galaxy with which to start a new game using the Begin New Game option. This doesn't affect the currently stored game or any game from a pasted code.
Continue Last Game - this retrieves the previously auto-saved game from your browser's cache or PICO-8's cartdata. The game is saved at the Dock Menu and on entering a system via a hyperjump.
If you want to preserve further game states beyond this then use the next option.
Load From Pasted Code - every time the game is saved PICO Space places a save game code into the clipboard. By pasting this code into a text file or similar then multiple game saves
