Flicking between the asteroids never gets old. Got to 4,200 before the big rock got me.

Your freighter is the last ship out of a collapsing system, and the star behind you is going supernova. Grab onto passing stars, swing around them, and let go at the right moment to fling yourself forward. The longer you orbit, the harder you launch.

A slingshot around a violet star, one step ahead of the shockwave

How to play

  • Hold anywhere (or any key, or a gamepad button) to grab the nearest star and orbit it.
  • Release to slingshot off in the direction you're flying.
  • Chain slingshots quickly to multiply the stardust you collect.
  • Don't touch a star's core, the debris, or the edges of space, and don't let the shockwave catch you.

Features

  • One input, endless depth: every run is a new procedurally generated star field
  • A shockwave that speeds up the longer you survive
  • Stardust chains for high scores
  • Touch, mouse, keyboard, and gamepad
  • Synthesized sound, and a tiny download that starts instantly
