Synopsis

  • Spaceship flies from the top downwards through a scrolling maze.
  • You have 30 seconds to reach the next level, and the pace keeps picking up.

How To Play

  • Guide your rocket through the openings in the approaching barriers.
  • Use the joystick to move the rocket in all four directions.
  • The four buttons provide an additional boost in the corresponding direction.
  • Avoid touching the barriers, as a collision ends the game.
  • The barrier speed increases as your score rises.
  • You earn one point for each barrier you pass without colliding with it.
  • Try to achieve the highest possible score.
  • The pace of the game changes over time. Slower sections can suddenly be
    followed by bursts of high speed, so stay alert and do not let the calm moments fool you!
