This game is turn based. You control a spaceship which consists of modules.

Modules

Any flying module that hits the ship will be attached to it.
Only if module is reachable from Main Module it can be attach to the ship. A module can't be reached through a Block Module.

There are few types of modules:
- Main module. If this module is destroyed you lose

- Empty module

- Engine module. Allow you to move.

- Block module. Other modules can't be reached from it.

- Swap module. Allows you to swap 2 modules at the en of a level

Movements

You move by turns with burs fires from engines. You can only move in a direction if you have an engine facing opposite direction. E.g. if you only have 2 engines facing left, you can only move right 1 or 2 spaces.

Enemies

Your enemies are orange asteroids that fly around. If they hit any of your modules, they will be destroyed along with module.

Engine blast

You can destroy enemies (or flying modules) with blasts from your engines. Those explosions will also destroy any module underneath an engine, so be careful.

Sacrifice

You can sacrifice any of your modules in order to overload your engines. This will last one turn and each engine will be able to move the ship 2 spaces instead of 1. Click on any module to sacrifice it.

Swapping

For each Swap Module at the end of a level, you can swap two modules. Simply click modules to swap them. You can swap a module with an empty space to just move it.
