Counterclockwise (3D spacecraft puzzle)

Counterclockwise (7mb ver1.1 made 2006 by 16x16 and Whining Girl 2D, no install .zip) is a great 3D spacecraft puzzle game. It looks simple in design and plays simple, but that's what's great about it.



This freeware game was made for the Retro Remakes 2006 competition and is a remake of a 1983 Spectrum game "Knot in 3D". Your goal is to navigate a mass-trail propulsion craft through zero-G space and survive as long as you can. There are other crafts (chasers) around, trying to cut you off with their trails. Avoid crashing into trails and showoff some fancy flying and shooting skills for extra score. Maneuver around the trails of chaser crafts to perform tricks and score points and combo points. Eliminate chaser crafts for collectable bonuses.
