Your fuel runs out.
Gravity never does.
Fall into a planet's gravity well, bank speed on the way round, and let go at the closest pass. Cut the engine and you still travel — as long as you found the right orbit.
Three moves. The rest is physics.
One finger to fly, one run to learn, a hundred runs and you still have not mastered it. Momentum is conserved, the orbits are real, and mistakes are not forgiven.
Fall into the well
Every planet pulls at 1/r². Enter at the right angle, settle into orbit and circle it without spending a drop of fuel. The prediction line shows you the real path.
Release at perigee
The closest point of the pass is also the most dangerous one. Burn exactly there: steal the planet's own speed and get flung across the system.
Jump the warp
Cross the score gate and the hyperspace tunnel opens. New system, new planets, and the next tier of things trying to kill you.
Small screen, real space.
Real orbital physics
Frictionless vacuum, conserved momentum, orbits that actually hold. The prediction line accounts for every force acting on the ship — it runs the same code as the simulation, so it never lies to you.
Hyperspace transitions
Levelling up is an event, not a menu: the ship is dragged to centre, the system is wiped, and a warp tunnel spits you out in a new galaxy.
Laser systems
Break asteroids apart, protect your shields, and multiply the score as the combo chain climbs.
40+ unlockables
Hulls, engine flames, power modules. The secret ones cannot be bought at any price — they are earned.
Global leaderboard
Scores sync to the cloud. Anti-cheat runs server side, so the ranking stays honest.
Private by default
No ads, no third-party tracking, no data resale. Play as a guest if you like; if you do make an account, one tap deletes it and everything in it, for good.
The deeper you go, the harder it pushes back.
Meteor Shower
Dense waves that sweep the screen end to end. Caught without a shield module, a single pass finishes the run.
Pulsar Beams
Death rays sweeping on a fixed rhythm. Learn the cycle and slip through the gap — or vaporise.
Gravity Storm
Polarity inverts: planets stop pulling and start shoving. Every plan you made is worthless three seconds later.
Black Hole
The event horizon widens, the pull compounds, the escape window narrows. Survivors get whispered the location of a hidden hull.
