Description

Figurative language is for people who don't know how to say what they mean, so fire thousands of lasers into a white space "whale". The space whale's space blubber probably makes space oil that fuels space lamps or something, but just worry about killing the thing.

Controls

A/D - Rotate left and right.

SPACE - Add force in the direction you are facing.

LEFT MOUSE - Fire the laser cannon.

RIGHT MOUSE - Fire or recall a harpoon.

R - Abandon the attempt.

Tips

- Harpoons (and their cable) self-destruct after a certain amount of time, so pay attention.

 - The arrow in the bottom right tracks the whale's head, following it too closely may lead directly to its jaws.

 - Your offset from the center of the screen indicates your current speed. If you are in the center, you aren't moving anywhere.

 - Firing a harpoon gives you a small boost in the opposite direction, maybe enough to avoid an untimely end.

You nailed it! What did you feed that darn snake? Really great game; I'm at work and played it sneakily, but couldn't kill that snake. Does it eat whey protein or did it feast on a Rocos basilisk? The mechanics and graphics are awesome, I really enjoyed it. Later tonight, I'll try to destroy it if I can. Good concept and design, congratulations!
