Blast off with all-new power-ups, special abilities, and more all against beautifully detailed spacey environments and backdrops, to the beat of a fresh original soundtrack by award-winning recording artist Megan McDuffee.

Features:

– Fly from planet to planet and progress through ever-more-challenging solar systems in a quest to get home in Arcade Mode
– Take on 24 distinct missions, aiming to climb global leaderboards and assert yourself as the ultimate space adventurer, or connect your player two and strategize together
– Utilizing the tech at your disposal, make use of your tractor beam to grab power-ups including homing missiles and electrifying EMP disruptors
– Bop your head through groovy missions and funky galaxies with an original score by award-winning recording artist Megan McDuffee
