Reconnect the Galaxy!


The invading Magnetar Army has sent out advance forces to sabotage the interstellar relay network! Transmission signals have been limited, blocking warp travel through the galaxy. Travel to the four quadrants of the galaxy to destroy the invaders and reactivate the relay stations!

Some members of the resistance survived the Magnetar assault. Rescue them from their damaged ships and they will aid you in your mission!

Controls


* Arrow Keys / WASD: Move
* Z / Space: Fire
* X / M: Listen to an incoming signal
* Escape: Pause

Touch controls are also supported. (_Note: Please use a landscape view. Portrait layout doesn't work right._)

Instructions


* Destroy all enemies near relay stations before docking
* Rescue pilots from damaged ships for powerups and repairs
* Ship is lost when signal strength reaches zero
* Radar shows enemies, damaged ships, and relay stations
* Relay stations and damaged ships are highlighted

See the Help screen in-game for a description of the HUD elements.

Strategies


* Magnetic Mines: Drifts toward your ship if you get close. Lead it away and then turn around to blast it!
* Patrol Cannon: Alternates between moving and attacking. It has a predictable pattern, so watch it and find an opening!
* Laser Turret: Uses a targeting laser to lock on, then fires a shot when fully charged. It has limited range, so shoot it down from a distance!
* Relay Stations: Dock with a relay station to activate it, but all nearby enemies must be destroyed first.
