Once all asteroids and other objects are destroyed larger ones appear. The asteroids appear on one side of the screen and on the other by hyperspace. The flying saucers appear every now and then try to crash into your ship or shoot you. When an asteroid is shot it will break into smaller pieces and still can cause damage. The ship can turn in any direction and can shoot. The spaceship when pushed forward moves by itself across screen and can go to the edge of the screen and appear on the other side by hyperspace. The spaceship can be controlled to thrust forward or backwards. The gameplay is to control the spaceship and destroy things like asteroids and flying saucers for points.
