A downloadable game

Story:

The game takes place inside the giant fusion candle built in the atmosphere of Jupiter. This mega project became necessary to save earth and mankind from a premature catastrophic change in our suns lifecycle. A catastrophic malfunction of the upper fusion engine kills most of the crew. Unless the last survivors can stabilize Jupiter Candle the last hope of mankind will soon crash into the gas giants core.

The player is in control of one of a few hundred survivors at the bottom of Jupiter Candle. Each survivor will jump & run through the entire station in an attempt to reach the control center at the top.

Does not actually work if you don’t add the trivial-gamekit distribution as described here. When trying to loads afterwards I get

debugger invoked on a SB-INT:SIMPLE-FILE-ERROR in thread
#<THREAD "main thread" RUNNING {1004AE8173}>:
  no translation for #P"SYS:DEFLATE.FAS"

Thanks, I added the extra step to the description.

No idea how to fix the second error though. Sorry :-(

The binary build actually worked for me. The game is very difficult.

Great!

Press 'R' to regenerate the level if you need a new one. But yes it's generally on the harder side right now.
