Find the line. Kill the speed. Make the catch.

Mission manual Controls, tactics & scoring
01

Bank toward the tower

Hold right and throttle together to travel toward the catch arms. Small taps change attitude; long holds build a bank.

02

Brake before the arms

Bank the other way to cancel sideways drift. Throttle slows your descent. Keep enough fuel for the final approach.

03

Line up the pins

Aim for the cyan catch corridor. Arrive upright with low vertical and sideways speed. Training gives you a wider target and more fuel.

A / D or arrow keys: steer · W / Up / Space: throttle · P: pause · M: sound. All controls also work by touch. Scores and progress are saved on this device.

Fan-made arcade fiction. Flight timings, vehicle economics and physics are game rules, not real-world performance or engineering guidance. Independent of Tesla and SpaceX.
