T-MINUS
T-MINUS
Your oxygen is running out. It always is.
Hold to charge your dash, release to launch. The longer you charge, the harder you fly, but charging costs oxygen too. Every second you're alive is a countdown you're actively spending.
Cross a field of asteroids collecting stars that refill your oxygen supply. Rare oxygen stars give you a bigger boost. Shield stars grant one free collision on your next dash, obstacles get destroyed either way, but you take no damage while it's active.
Everything scales with how hard you charge your dash: bigger charges mean bigger gains from items and bigger losses from impacts. How long can you survive?
CONTROLS
- Hold to charge, release to dash.
- Your ship rotates on its own, so timing your release is everything.
- Charging burns oxygen, so don't overdo it.
- Press ESC to pause.
Also playable on mobile via touch. Note: pausing (ESC) is currently only available on desktop.

I survive for 1 minute and 16 seconds.the game is alright, just a bit confusing to get the controls figured out. If you could, could you give me some tips on how to survive for a long time?
Thanks for playing!
Oxygen drains faster as time goes on, so early on try not to charge too much, the harder you charge, the more it costs, and early game that trade isn't worth it yet. Try tapping lightly when you've got a direction lined up, it's the most reliable way to move with control. Good luck!
