SpaceJourney v1.2 file

In this small demo, the objective is to go to four different sectors and find pieces to an artifact (one in each sector), using your tractor beam.

Controls
Use WASD keys to move forward and strafe.
Press R or Right Mouse Button to switch between hand and gun mode.

Hand mode allows you to pick up objects and click on interface buttons.
While gun mode is for shooting enemies and grabbing objects.

F1 - Help Screen
F2 - Options

Left and Right arrows turn your ship, but only when you are at console at the front of the ship's bridge.

Pressing esc \ escape pauses.

The rest of the controls (like for the ship) are pretty self explanatory but feel free to ask!
