 cover: the name, and behind it the world as a field of dots. You are one amber dot on
 the bay, and a signal spreads from you across the map. It has no other words. A click
 or a key goes on: a saved run carries on, and a new one asks what you were built for.

+**New game**, to throw a run away, is at the foot of the You page (Y) and on the How to play page (?). It opens the three cards with **Keep playing** beside Start: the run is only thrown away when you press Start. The game pauses
 while that page is open, and goes on at the speed it had when you close it. A lost run is not
 kept. A save from an older build of the game is dropped.
