It's time to save outer space! Gray goo has infested the solar system and is rapidly eating up every planet. Your job is to stop it!
Pilot a nimble ship around the universe, gunning down asteroids and enemy ships that impede your progress. Travel from planet to planet in search of "Escape" tanks that will help you defeat the goo. But hurry, the more you linger, the more the goo will spread, and the less planets you will have to visit!
This game does have an ending, with a thrilling conclusion!
- If you get bombarded with bullets near the planets, kill the red planes to get health packs
- Dashing by double tapping A or D is super useful for dodging obstacles: it also makes you invincible!
Try out the Post Jam RELAXED mode below. It is a post jam game, but no new features were added. (this was created to ensure everyone can enjoy the game!)
Can you beat it?

If your monitor refresh rate is greater than 60Hz, the HTML5 game will run way faster than its intended speed. I'll try and patch that up, but in the meantime if you have this problem you'll have to use the Windows Download.

Tips:
- You don't need to get the "Escape" tanks to get to the ending (but they do help you). If you want to beat the game quickly, you'll need to travel to a particular location on the map (hint, the glaring big evil symbol thing)- If you get bombarded with bullets near the planets, kill the red planes to get health packs
- Dashing by double tapping A or D is super useful for dodging obstacles: it also makes you invincible!
