A short space adventure built with NESmaker for the 2020 Byte-Off jam.

In the year 20XX the hero's people are trapped behind a purple nebula, and the only way out is to find three crystals hidden on three hostile planets. You fly a small fighter through open space, dodging enemy craft and drifting debris, then land on each planet in turn. The ship has a special ability, the QBOX, and the story ends with a deliberately odd twist.
