STAR SALVAGE: how to play and score

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.

GET STARTED

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.

BUILD A STRATEGY

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.

MANAGE YOUR RESOURCES

Shield protects you for 1.75 seconds and recharges in eight seconds. A collision costs a shield; three losses end the run.

FINISH STRONG

Clear a sector for a bonus. Every fifth sector brings a dreadnought. Break it for bonus points and an extra shield.
