Simple and short resource management with no storyline. Blow up asteroid, collect ore, sell ore for $, upgrade your space ship, repeat until all upgrades achieved. Watch out for enemy "mines" which will chase you and explode, keep an eye on your fuel so you don't get stranded/die, and try not to damage your hull by hitting anything. The further way from base you fly, the higher value the ore in the asteroids (until you get even further away than that, at which point no asteroid will yield any ore). The flying controls are tricky to master in a fun way - W will always fire your back thrusters regardless of the direction you're pointing, and you will continue to drift even when you aren't firing them. Increased speed is not usually a good choice because you are definitely going to crash into an asteroid and probably explode yourself. The side effect of this is that the game feels slow and meditative, crawling through an asteroid belt collecting ore. It doesn't overstay its welcome because there aren't a huge number of upgrades to achieve, but if you like things more high speed you're going to find the game tedious.
