User Summary:

Star Port is a platform game interspersed with puzzles. The player needs to move around a base populated with robots, which must be destroyed to successfully complete the game. There are locked doors, which need to be opened using numbered keys dotted around the base.

The player needs to act quickly, as the oxygen supply is continually dwindling. This can be shored up by picking up additional oxygen cylinders.

Blue doors are locked with a puzzle. This consists of four interlocking wheels, with the letters A-I inscribed upon them. The player must rotate the wheels such that the letters are in alphabetical order. The first puzzle needs one wheel to be turned, then second needs two to be turned, etc. The puzzles need to be solved in a time-limit.

The player loses the game if they run out of oxygen, run out of energy, or run out of puzzle time.
