The story
You are a brave space commander on a dangerous mission to save the universe. Hostile beings are spreading destruction across the galaxy.
To stop them, you have already achieved your main objective: you destabilized the core of their star. Now they're running out of time — and so are you!
To get home, you must escape their star system before the star explodes!
Level 1
Your mission begins near the star you have just destabilized. Reach the quantum portal that will take you to the edge of the star system.

Level 2
The next quantum portal lies near a giant gas planet. It will take you to another part of the galaxy — but first you must get past the enemy defences.

Level 3
