Rover

As a captain on a mission to find a habitable planet, you send off a rover to planet Idrade. You control it from your space shuttle orbiting around the planet. Your aim is to find a source of water with the assistance of the rover. You must send commands for the rover to scan the area for water and direct it to a potential water source. 

Your rover is supplied with ammo, so you can fight any enemies in your way. However, keep an eye out on the rover’s status, as it will not be able to function if it is damaged or runs out of energy.

You must communicate with the rover and constantly share information to achieve the goal.

Notes:

• You only need a mouse to start the game, and a keyboard to type in commands.
• It is recommended to launch and play the game in fullscreen.
• The game allows for replayability, as the map is procedurally generated.
• The recommended range for the movement command is 1-10.
