This is NOT a shooting game. You can not fire missiles. Dodging the blocks for 30 seconds is the only way to survive. The hard mode is very difficult. If you are good at shooting games, I recommend playing the hard mode. This game has 48 levels.

Pip is nine years old and a very long way from home. Her survival pod came loose during a debris storm, and now she is drifting through the Drift: a belt of wreckage orbiting a dead star. Her family is out there, listening for her beacon. One orbit at a time, she is going back. Her pod has a single thruster, so you have a single control. Tap. That is the whole game, and it is harder than it sounds. TWO WAYS TO FLY Retrograde flips your thrust so you double back along the same orbit. Transfer hops you between the inner and outer shells. Same story, different verb, and each keeps its own record. WHAT IS OUT THERE Asteroids tumble past and cannot be destroyed. Sweeper drones will clear you away like any other debris, unless you are carrying a Phase Shield. Bolts come fast and thin, and there is no answering them. Between them float shards of salvage. Collect them quickly and your collector goes into resonance, multiplying everything you pick up. Pass close to a hazard without touching it and you steal momentum from it. The best runs are the greedy ones. FIT OUT THE POD Spend salvage on an extra hull plate, a wider tractor beam, better luck with powers, a higher multiplier. Change your beacon frequency and fly in a colour of your choosing. The whole game is free, and every run is playable without spending anything. Simple to learn, difficult to master, over in a minute. Bring her home.
