Instruction Manual
Do you have what it takes to send Nyan Cat across the cosmos?
Interstellar adventurer and all around awesome dude Nyan Cat needs your help! Evil Zwingons from the dimension Crenistinium-994 have stolen stars from our universe! These terrible beasts have fled from Nyan Cat’s intimidating rainbow magic, but not without leaving a mess behind them. It’s up to you to collect as many stars as possible to be returned to our universe.
Special Boost power ups will help you along your way, propelling you faster to collect stars – but be careful! It’s easy to lose your footing when flying so fast.
Gameplay
Guide Nyan Cat through the cosmos by jumping from platform to platform to collect stars. Since Nyan Cat is awesome, you can double-jump to get extra far and extra high if needed. Lightning bolt Boost power ups will temporarily rocket you faster through space until the Boost bar depletes. Any additional Boost you collect while using a Boost adds to your time, but be careful! Boosts can’t be turned off!
Nyan Cat earns points from both stars collected, and distance traveled. See if you can make the high score.
Controls
Press Space or the Up Arrow to JUMP.
Press D or the Right Arrow to activate BOOST.

Notes
While not exactly “retro,” the general concept of gameplay is an homage to another internet sensation, Robot Unicorn Attack.
