Briefings and cut-scenes in-between missions move the story forward. This is also where you may upgrade or repair your ship during the course of the game. Currency is obtained by completing certain key missions.
You have infinite ships on the Novice difficulty. Otherwise there is but one ship at your disposal, and once it is destroyed, you may buy a new one for the currency you’ve earned. The controls are fairly easy.
Move your finger up and down to move the ship, and tap to shoot. Tap and hold to charge a power-blast, and then release to fire. Power-ups may be fired upon to summon aid in the form of androids, missile-strikes, or a cluster of drop-bombs.
Ships have two fields: one for shield; one for energy. While the enemy’s shield is still up, it is recommended to use the charge, as it does more damage. Once down, use the regular fire to quickly deplete your enemy’s energy.
On certain levels you may be free to fly around the screen, using a virtual stick. Do keep in mind that you may choose to have it in fixed or relative position. The default is set to fixed.

Story mode will save your progress automatically, so that you may easily resume it at a later time. Several save-slots allows you to store multiple missions. A 2-player mode is also available, where you may engage a friend in combat or Asteroid race.
Here a selection of all the ships and battlefields in the game is offered. In addition, you may alter the time of battles or simply disable it altogether, increase or decrease frequency of power-ups and health items, and restore stats.
Upcoming features will include multiplayer mode, along with options to create your very own ship and battlefields. New pilots and ships will eventually be available.
