Space Tunneler (MAGS December 2015)

Spacebar for SHIELDS!? I didn't know about that!!!

OOPS... like I said, the lack of instructions / a tutorial is my one big regret about this game.

Another note - shields recharge quicker the faster you're moving, and don't recharge at all when you're moving at the slowest speed.  Remember that - it's VERY important!

Well, I finally managed to super wimp my through the game and exit at the other end.
Funny though, I only also found out about space bar for shields, AFTER I was done. I had read about how they recharge and what not, but thought they were active by default, and once shields were down, then the hull gauge would start getting "hit".... Guess I never used the shields at all.

Well, you have proved beyond doubt that it is possible to complete the game without using the shields at all  - at least in Ultra Wimpy Mode!!

Using the shields can be useful, but at certain sections of the game, it actually hinders more than helps.  I like to think of it as a cunning strategy puzzle (honestly, it IS a feature not a bug!).
