Core Mechanics

Zero-G Drifting

Your rescue pod doesn't stop instantly when you release the thrust. You have to account for cosmic inertia, making maneuvering between fast-moving asteroids a delicate and challenging dance.

Power-ups

Energy shields, speed boosts and time slowers are really helpful. These things do not show up often but they can totally rescue your game when the screen is filled with a huge wave of meteors that you just cannot avoid. Energy shields and speed boosts and time slowers can be a deal.

Pro Tip:

PRO TIP: Don't rush blindly! Boosting into a cluster of asteroids just to grab one kitty can create a trap with no exit. Plan your flight trajectories carefully.
