About
Inertia-based space shooting drawn entirely with lines. Rotate with 4/6, thrust with 2 and fire with 5 while rocks split from large to medium to small. A saucer cruises through and aims at you, hyperspace is an emergency escape that might land you somewhere worse, and every 10000 points earns an extra ship. All physics use fixed-point integer maths for old handsets.
Objective: Clear wave after wave of rocks and survive as long as possible.
