GigaSun Jet

Your ship blazes past your rival, leaving a trail of bullets that rip through his deflector shields.  In an instant, his ship appears out of nowhere to cut off your escape as he launches a salvo of Rebel Missiles.  You quickly slam on the booster controls, dodging a pair of them.  As you drift across the deep void of space, you switch off your reactor and watch as the remaining missiles fly off into the distance, blind to your presence.  Your attention turns back to your enemy as you flip open the safety on your secret weapon.  He would be searching for you just as blindly as the missiles... and he won't see this coming...

Customize and control your own spaceship as you and up to three other players race through a variety of star systems, destroying enemies, earning credits, and upgrading a variety of ship components.  
  • Take your entourage onto the net for a battle of as many players as your computer can handle.
  • Choose from an unlimited variety of each of the 12 component types to fill your ship with the best equipment.
  • Activate outrageous special abilities to gain the upper hand.
  • Raise your rank through your successful missions and earn every credit.
  • Use the included Mission Editor to create your own levels and campaigns to share with your friends.
  • Play alternate game modes like soccer and capture the flag.
The default controls for player 1 are 'w','a','s','d' for movement, 'h','g','j' for weapons, 'y' for special, 't' for radar toggle, and 'u' for reactor toggle.  Double-tap a movement key to activate your dodge boosters in that direction.
