Launch a comet through a space arcade built for one thumb. Hold to catch a planet's orbit, then lift to slingshot toward the next world. Time each release, collect every crystal, and reach the exit portal. Play 30 missions across five stages, from the gentle Cradle to the demanding Singularity. Dodge UFOs, rogue planets, asteroid fields, debris belts, and black holes. Beat each mission's par time for three stars and earn space-themed mastery badges. Take on a new Daily Challenge, build a completion streak, or chase a personal best in Infinite Challenge with two spare lives. Campaign progress is saved on your device; no account is required. Missions 1-1 through 1-4 and Daily Challenge have no ads. From mission 1-5, the first eligible crash may offer one optional rewarded-ad continue from the last orbit. There are no automatic ads.
