Tap to ignite Boosty's thrusters and the shimmering mach diamonds flare as you punch against gravity's pull. Fly into blue energy orbs, dodge dangerous golden energy, and complete your mission through the stars. Boosty is a handcrafted blend of arcade action and real cosmic wonder — featuring astrophotography captured by space enthusiast Solarspin. Every glowing nebula, star cluster, and galactic swirl you see is real imagery from our shared night sky. You’re not flying through pixels — you’re exploring the Milky Way itself. **Blast Mode** A real shooting arcade game mode! Tap with 1, 2, or 3 fingers to fire Boosty's energy defense. Collect purple Stars to get Stardust to buy better defense tools. Add your high scores to the Trophy leaderboards. How high can you take Boosty Spaceship? **Gates Mode** Golden force fields loom like plasma monoliths; brush one, and the run crashes in a burst of emitters. Then the game restarts for another mission. But don't worry if you crash a few times, Boosty can help! Turn on Autopilot and Boosty will take over control with you to show you the safe paths. **Orbs Mode (default)** is a forgiving frenzy. Golden force fields won't end your flight, but they'll nick your glory if you graze them. Elusive blue orbs, spawning randomly in the voids like hidden quasars. Snag one anywhere for 1 point; center it perfectly, and boom—+2 immediate bonus, a surge that lights up your run like a supernova. **Stars Mode** Planetarium mode ** This is a serene autopilot mission where tension melts away into wonder. No taps demanded as Autopilot fires the engine for you. You rack up "light-years" every so often because, hey, space is vast. But those orbs? They propel you 2 light years ahead in a flash. It's stargazing therapy, clocking 100+ ly in a lazy session while the galaxy unfurls in parallax splendor. **Boosty's Autopilot**, a smart copilot born from aerospace dreams. Featuring a real-time robot brain that constantly simulates tap paths with discrete gravity physics and beam-search pruning logic. It is a miniaturized rocket guidance system, rejecting bad trajectories on the fly. It rate-limits rocket boosts to save fuel (no thrust-spamming frenzy), it biases toward stability when horizons clear, and it navigates obstacle mazes and reversing gravity flux with microsecond timing. Flip it on, lean back, and watch Boosty turn your wipeouts into balletic dances through the stars. It's not cheating; it's teamwork, bridging your arcade taps with Boosty's pilot precision. **Chaos Mode**—Watch out! Gravity reverses direction without warning, pulling Boosty up and down in heart-stopping whiplash. This is difficult for your normal human brain to deal with. It's not normal. Do you have the skill and reflexes to handle it? This is where Boosty's autopilot shines! It adapts on the go. Can you? This is not pre-programmed. Every run is random chaos. Even the rocket scientists at NASA will need the help of Boosty's autopilot for this mode. Or post a high score from Chaos mode and we will all cheer for you! Brag about your triumphs with a swipe across the Boosty title logo at the top of the screen. That is the secret switch to show the retro local high-score sheet, 3-letter initials only, channeling '80s arcade ghosts. Will you beat ZZZ's or DAD's tally? Will you get on the local leaderboard? Tap the Trophy icon at the bottom and Apple's Game Center leaderboards are shown. This is where players meet to have global duels, snag badges for orb marathons, and post High Scores. Real physics, real galaxies, sparkling booster engines, and chaotic thrills await. Step into Boosty’s cockpit, fire those rockets, and see how far you can fly. Boosty is counting on you!
