A downloadable simulator for Windows and Linux

rover driver is my first free and open-source game made in the unity engine. to play the game, decompress the .zip for the game onto your computer. when you open the folder, you should see lots of files and two executables. take the one that does NOT say crash handler, ad make a shortcut to your desktop. now you have a shortcut directly to the game, which is quite useful as you CAN NOT remove the extracted .exe from its folder. I hope that you will enjoy my creation, and any improvements that you make, I will be more than willing to switch to your modification. please,  (if you know me) let me know :-) also, note that it is in-development, so it may be filled with numerous bugs and glitches. also, I do not  have an instructions section in the release, so here goes:

  use the arrow keys or WASD to move the rover, but use movement sparingly aqs you only have so much solar charge in a day, and as the rover gets older, you get less and less time to move. you can see the solar charge, along with how many rocks you have sampled, up in the top-left corner of the screen. also you can sample rocks using space (actually only one rock is in the game, mut more coming). your end score is tallied on the mission end (when your rover can no longer function) as both distance traveled and number of rocks sampled, a lot like how we value real rovers.
