How far can you make it? Space Tap is a fast, one-touch arcade flight through the solar system. Tap for an upward boost, hold for sustained lift, and release to fall. Your mission is simple: keep flying, dodge every hazard, and see how far from the Sun you can travel. FLY THE SOLAR SYSTEM Start near the Sun and push outward through Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and beyond. Each region changes the atmosphere and brings the next destination closer. MASTER THE FLIGHT Simple controls leave room for skill. Thread the ship through moving gates, debris, asteroid fields, and other hazards. A Perfect Gate rewards a centered pass. A Near Miss rewards getting dangerously close without crashing. Chain skillful clears into streaks for bonus points. CHASE ENERGY Collect Energy Stars during each run. Your lifetime total carries forward and unlocks cosmetic ships. Energy Fields create optional trails of stars that tempt you away from the safest route. SURVIVE SPACE EVENTS Solar Storms temporarily change the run with dangerous Solar Waves and faster movement. Energy Fields fill upcoming routes with extra collectible paths. React quickly—the normal hazards do not stop. UNLOCK SHIPS Build your lifetime progress and reach farther destinations to unlock additional cosmetic spacecraft. Ships change your look, not your flight performance.
