About >> FWD
>> FWD is a fast space game about running from the void. Something is chasing you, and the only plan is to keep moving ahead of it. It's played with the mouse alone.
The controls are small and quick to learn. Hold the left mouse button to accelerate, hold the right button to brake, and press R to reload. Because the pace is high, the game comes down to how well you manage speed.
