How To Play:

Recover the orb on each level by flying close enough to attach to your ship, then thrust into space to warp to the next stage.

Secondary objectives: Destroy the Planetary defences, and recover the blue FUEL cells by hovering your ship above them.

If you destroy the power station, a chain reaction will destroy the entire planet in 10 seconds and if you have the orb attached you will be rewarded with a bonus.
