📖 About This Game
Exciting battles in space!
Explore asteroids and planets to recover resources, move across the hyperspace, and fight your enemies across the galaxy.
You roll the die to see how many squares you can move your spaceship or space cruiser, then if you are at close range you can fire your laser, and if you are at long range you can launch your thermonuclear missiles.
The battle computer will decide the combat results. Red - target destroyed, yellow target damaged, green no damage.
You will need oxygen (to travel in hyperspace and to repair damage), titanium (to repair damage), energy for your lasers and missiles... so you have to visit planets and asteroids to gather resources.
You can also travel in hyperspace... but you risk arriving on a supernova or a meteor field, so be careful.
