Space Taxi Mayhem v1.5.0

A multiplayer Space Taxi game with 1-5 local players, inspired by the Amiga PD classic Space Taxi 3.

Pick up passengers, land gently on the pad they call out, and don't crash into walls, hazards, other taxis or the passengers themselves. There are 45 levels, divided into 9 level sets, with many features such as switches, moving platforms, lasers, wind, and many more. Fly with the D-pad and remember that you can't thrust sideways while the landing gear (A/B) is down.
