Trash Zapper
Complete the math equation by blasting the piece of trash with the correct number out of the universe. If you blast the wrong piece of trash, you'll lose energy. If you allow one of the Trash Alien's cruise missiles to rock Blasternaut's ship, you'll lose energy.
Remember to raise your shields for protection. Shoot satellites to recharge shield power. And for extra points, zap the Trash Alien's attack ships.

Cave Runner
In order to chase the Trash Alien through the caves, Blasternaut must carry a code number that falls between the numbers on either side of the cave gaps. For example, if the numbers are 5 and 9, then Blasternaut's code must be more than 5 and less than 9 (6, 7, or 8 would work).
Change the code by letting a water drop with a useful number and operation sign plop on Blasternaut's head. Fly away from lava bombs and force fields. And use the freeze-ray to stop alien cave creatures in their tracks.

Math Blaster
The evil Trash Alien is getting away with Spot! Blasternaut must blast his way through the garbage, then head into the porthole that has the correct answer to the equation.
Look out for escaped alien cave creatures. And whatever you do, complete your mission before the sun is eclipsed.
