You are a freight pilot on the Alpha run, and the belt does not care. ENDLESS FLIGHT Hold station while the field streams past. Thread the yellow gates to log rings and score. Green gates hand you a speed surge and an aura that vaporizes anything you touch. Red gates refit your hull one class heavier; a bigger ship, more cannons, and astroids that used to end a run barely marks you. KNOW YOUR ASTROIDS Three spectral types, and the difference matters. C-type is dark and brittle: one shot, light damage. S-type is stony and takes more. M-type is dense nickel-iron; three shots from a light hull, and it hits like it looks. Your cannons double with every refit, from one muzzle to four. GRAVITY IS THE REAL ENEMY Ten kinds of body drift past the lane: moons, planets, comets, white dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes. Each one pulls, and the pull is not a warning light; it drags the ship, it drags the astroids around you, and if you let a well win, your hull starts tearing before it takes you. The far side of the lane is shelter. Sitting still is not. EARN EVERY POINT There is no passive score. Points come from rings threaded, kills, refits, power gates, and from flying clear of a well that had you. Park in a corner and you earn nothing. The leaderboard ranks one thing: rings threaded in a single run. FLY IT YOUR WAY An analog thumb stick with a d-pad ring, tilt steering, or a hardware keyboard; and any combination of them at once. Hide the on-screen controls entirely and fly on tilt alone. Portrait or landscape, iPhone, iPad, or Mac. NO ASSET, NO WASTE Every asteroid, every planet surface, every sound effect is generated on the device. The whole game is a few megabytes and works with no network. THREE FREE RUNS A DAY Every calendar day resets three runs, free, forever. A Battle Pass subscription lifts the cap for pilots who want to keep flying.
