Kern. In. Spaaaaaaaaace!
One of my favorite creative pro retailers, Veer, has a new online time waster. The game, called “Kern In Space,” presents you with one challenge: Kern all the letters before your fuel runs out. Sounds simple, but can your earth-based kerning skills function in this oxygen-free environment?
Use the left and right arrow keys to control direction of the floating letters, and hit the space bar to fire your engines. If the boss comes by, hit the S key to turn off the game’s sound effects.
