SkyRoads is a remake of the video game Kosmonaut developed by Bluemoon and released in 1993, selling internationally and getting low cost retail (LCR) distribution deals from the U.S. to Taiwan.
The space bar and directional keys are used to create an easy "jump and move" motion. Up accelerates the ship and down slows down the ship. Meters at the bottom indicate the ship's speed, Oxygen Levels, and Fuel Levels. The meter to the left indicates the level progress, next to a grav-o-meter that describes the planet's gravity (100 is the lowest, giving a weightless feeling, and 1700 is the highest, allowing no jumping). The level is restarted if the ship is destroyed, runs out of fuel or oxygen or falls off the roads.
Following the success of the original Skyroads, Bluemoon released a Skyroads XMAS-Special version in 1994, which featured exactly the same interface and features, but different and considerably harder levels.Source: Wikipedia
