The game starts in sector 1.0, where your goal is to pass through a set number of pylons at the top left side of the screen. The requirements increase with each new sector, starting from 9 pylons in sector 1.0. As you progress, you'll face additional challenges like flying saucers that fly in patterns and errant robot spaceships that try to crash into your ship.
The game ends when you lose all three lives by crashing into pylons or enemy ships. You can avoid losing lives by navigating through pylons carefully, but be aware that time is also limited – if the time bar runs out, the game will end. You can increase your speed to move faster, but this will add new challenges to your gameplay. Your overall score increases with distance traveled, pylons passed, and enemy ships shot down.
