Playing the Game:

The object of this game is to land your ship on one of three landing pads in order to rescue colonists fleeing from disaster. First, select a colony in need of assistance. Try "Asteroid Z" first as it is the easiest. Your ship is a simple design with only one main thruster underneath the ship. To change direction, you must rotate the ship and fire the thruster. Use the controls at the bottom of the screen to land your ship. The arrow icons will rotate the ship and the wedge (on the bottom left) will fire the thruster. The pattern changes on the thrust icon enable three different levels of thrust. Tap the large end for maximum thrust and the small end for minumum. Watch the fuel guage at the top of the screen as well. Your ship must be upright and barely moving when you land. Your promotion is determined by your score for each mission. Since it is more difficult to land on small landing pads, you will get more points for the rescue of colonists at the smaller pads.
