THE OPERATOR - LD51
Stuck in a bunker deep underground, you as the OPERATOR have been tasked with controlling a remote rover on a research mission. Plan your moves carefully as commands can only reach the rover every 10 seconds.
Made in 72 hours for LD51, while sick with the rona! :D

I just tried loading this on android and it actually works. With the exception that it doesn't have a way to enter or send commands. This would be a great android game if it had a way to do that. :P Perhaps a send button at the end of the command line, with the other commands its capable of running as buttons and a number pad to tap numbers in with a space button. Would suck using phone's keyboard as that would squish the game. I didn't even mind the scan line thing while it was on my phone.
As per a suggestion, I'd like to see a command for "wait", so that it won't run the next command till the previous finishes. Such as a rotation which can take longer than it does to get the command for an accelerate. Maybe also a way to chain commands in the same line, like "ACC 4 1, WAIT, ROT -45", so it would accelerate, wait till acceleration has stopped, then rotate. I believe you could also have wait seconds so WAIT 1, would wait 1 second.
Also perhaps randomized maps. :P Interesting concept though. One more thought, I'd like the scan line thing as an option to remove. Not the constant background, but the bright one that swipes down from the top of the screen periodically.
For those who just wanna cheat and see the solution, here it is. :P
