The aliens are friendly. They are also very close. Zap them home.

A flotilla of goofy aliens is sightseeing across the solar system, all at once, and not one of them has heard of personal space. Fly a little open-cockpit craft up past moon craters, a ring planet's rings, a fluffy nebula and a crowded parking orbit to the Mothership itself, zapping saucers, hover pods and wobbly formations until every alien poofs into sparkles and beams home. Your laser fires by itself; the trick is the flying. Slip between slow neon blips, catch every gem the aliens below drop so each one is worth more, and save a Nova for the big silly boss at the end of every stage. Earn medals, spend stardust on new crafts and parts in the hangar, and fly Today's Flyby, a new remixed stage every day.

How to play

1. Drag to fly. On a phone, drag on the pad under the action or anywhere on the screen; with a keyboard, use the arrows or WASD, and hold Shift to fly steady. Your laser fires by itself.
2. Only the little dot in your cockpit has to stay clear of the neon blips. A bonk pops a shield, and when the last one pops the flight ends and you float off in an escape bubble.
3. Aliens on the surface below drop gems. Catch every one and each is worth more, up to 2,000. Miss one and it starts again at 100. Fly near the top of the screen to pull in every gem at once.
4. Tap Nova, or press Space or Enter, to turn every blip on the screen into sparkles. You carry only a few, and each one kept is worth points at the end of the stage. Clear stages for medals, spend stardust on crafts and parts, and fly Today's Flyby, a new stage every day.

Every way to play is equal here: touch, mouse and keyboard all move at the same top speed. A score means the same on any device.

Tips

• Watch the dot in your cockpit, not the craft. Blips only count when they touch that dot.
• Aimed blips go where you were. A small, steady sidestep beats them better than a big swerve.
• Never let a gem fall off the bottom. A long chain is worth far more than a few extra aliens.
• Keep your Novas for the boss, and spend one before you lose a shield, not after.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. It's free to play in your browser, with no download and no sign-up needed. Coins you earn are for fun and can never be bought.

How do I play?

Drag on a phone, or use the arrows or WASD on a keyboard. Your laser fires by itself, so all you do is fly and pick your moment for a Nova.

What are gems and stardust?

Gems are points: catch them in a row and each is worth more. Stardust is this game's own currency for the hangar, earned by scoring points. It is separate from the site's coins and can't be bought.

What happens when I get hit?

A bonk pops a shield and the craft blinks for a moment. When the last shield pops, the flight ends and you float off in an escape bubble.

Can I play on a phone?

Yes. It's built for a phone held upright first, and plays the same on a tablet, a Chromebook or a computer.
