Field Guide
Drag the left side of the screen. Keyboard players can use WASD or the arrow keys.
Your skimmer automatically targets nearby sand creatures. Keep moving while it fires.
Collect aqua, seeds, and technology. Return to the glowing oasis to bank everything safely.
Carry enough aqua to a buried aquifer, then press AWAKEN. Restore all three to trigger the finale.
Return before the timer expires. The black storm rapidly drains health outside the oasis.
Rest at the oasis between expeditions and spend banked resources on permanent run upgrades.
