The goal

Fly your ship, blast the drifting rocks into smaller and smaller pieces, and clear each wave without getting hit.

Flying

On a touch screen, drag anywhere on the left side to steer. A short drag turns the ship to face that way; drag further to thrust.
Press and hold the fire button in the bottom right to keep firing.
With a keyboard: Left and Right (or A and D) turn, Up (or W) thrusts and Space fires. P or Escape pauses.
The ship keeps drifting after you let go. Fly off one edge and you come back in on the opposite side, and so do the rocks.

Rocks

A large rock splits into two medium ones, a medium rock into two small ones, and small rocks are destroyed.
Large rocks are worth 20 points, medium 50 and small 100.
Shots only fly so far, and only a few can be out at once, so aim rather than spray.

Waves and ships

Clear every rock to bring the next wave: one more large rock each time, drifting a little faster.
You have three ships. When one is hit, the next appears in the middle once it’s clear, and blinks for a moment while nothing can hurt it.
Leave mid-game and you carry on from the start of the wave you were on.
