## What is The Universe, Controlled?

Rockets. Spaceships. UFOs. They're all hurtling around up there in space, but someone's got to help them get to where they're going.

It's you. You're that someone. 

Your job is to trace paths for spacecraft to land in the right place on the planet or moon they're headed for. And unsurprisingly, they'd rather not crash. That's on you. Trace paths, avoid collisions.

On occasion, the other typical stuff you see in space might float by: Aliens, astronauts, asteroids. You'll want to avoid those, too.

Play with the spacey soundtrack or turn it off. Enjoy the delightful sound effects, or turn those off, too. Just land everybody safely, score the most points you can, and then play again. The fun is out of this world.
