About

Stellar Ascent

Read full description

Fly your ship into deep space, dodging satellites, asteroids and comets. Your ship climbs on its own. Slide your finger left and right, grab fuel before the tank runs dry, and collect coins to buy new ships. The higher you climb, the stranger space gets: every stretch brings new scenery, new obstacles and more speed. WHAT'S INSIDE - Three powers: the Shield protects your ship from collisions, the Magnet pulls coins and fuel your way, and the Laser blasts through everything in front of you. - Hangar: spend the coins from your runs on new ships. - Prize ships: the Freighter, the Collector and the Interceptor aren't for sale. You earn them by reaching 400, 800 and 1,000 km in a single run, and each one comes with its own perk. - Your personal best sits on the home screen, waiting to be beaten. - Plays offline. No internet needed. A run fits in a coffee break. Reaching 1,000 km is another story. Climb until the tank runs dry.
