What's in it

  • 6 weapons and 6 modules, each with 5 levels.
  • Power-ups: Rapid Fire, Spread Shot and Overdrive.

  • Normal and Hard difficulty, and 3 ships to unlock.
  • Permanent upgrades bought with Stardust.
  • 11 missions and a new Daily Run every day.

Tips

  • Keep moving in wide arcs; the dash carries momentum, so use it to cut through gaps rather than to stop.
