THE OBJECTIVE
Pilot an inertial salvage ship through wrapping asteroid fields. Split rocks, collect their cores, and chain hits for bigger payouts. A shield saves a close call; every fifth sector brings a mining dreadnought.
HOW TO SCORE
- Rotate, thrust and brake to manage your ship’s momentum. The field wraps at every edge. Aim with the mouse, or turn with the controls.
- Hold Fire to break big rocks into smaller ones. Quick consecutive hits raise the multiplier up to ×8. Fly into gold salvage cores for 150 points.
- Shield protects you for 1.75 seconds and recharges in eight seconds. A collision costs a shield; three losses end the run.
- Clear a sector for a bonus. Every fifth sector brings a dreadnought. Break it for bonus points and an extra shield.
