The questions people ask most, then an email address if yours is not here.

How do I steer a ship?

Touch the ship and drag to the dock of its color. You can start your line anywhere on the ship. When the line reaches a dock it will land in, it glows, the dock flashes and you hear a chime.

Why won't my ship land?

A ship lands only where you sent it. Three things have to be true: it is the right color, you drew its line into that dock, and that dock is open. Flying over a dock on its own does nothing.

Bays and pads take ships in through their open end only. The arrows show which end for the first few seconds a dock is open.

Why did a dock close?

On some stations there are two docks of one color, and only one is open at a time. The open one blinks before they swap, then its blast doors shut. Any ship you had sent there needs a new line to the other one.

My ship turned around on its own

Ships turn back at the edge of the screen, and that clears their line. Draw them a new one.

How do I open the next station?

Get bronze on the station before it, in either mode.

What is Today's run?

One station a day with the same ships for everyone. Your first finished run that day is your score. Later runs are practice and do not change it.

What is Cadet mode?

Slower ships with more room between them. It keeps its own best scores and medals. Today's run always flies at normal speed so everyone's scores compare.

I paid to remove ads. How do I get that on a new phone?

Sign into the same Google or Apple account on the new phone, open the game, and tap Restore purchases in Settings.

Does the back button close the game?

On Android, back pauses a run. From the station menu, it closes the game.

Still stuck?
