Pirates are stealing your energy cores. Fly with the left stick, aim with the right, and intercept the raiders before they escape with your cargo. Play all 24 campaign levels for free and start a fresh run whenever you like. When the last core is gone, you can end the run or watch an optional rewarded ad, when available, to restore three cores at your current level and score. You can continue once per campaign run. Continued runs keep ordinary progress and have their own local bests. Game Center competition is reserved for standard runs. Space Bandits Premium is a one-time purchase. It gives you the same three-core continue without an ad, Daily Challenge, Endless after you complete the campaign, advanced cosmetics, and full leaderboard access. If you already own the Full Game, your purchase includes Premium.
