The galaxy is at war. The enemy has mobilized their fleet to blockade your planet and keep you isolated from your allies across the galaxy.
You are a blockade runner. You pilot a ship and lead a small fleet. You use a combination of careful planning, tactical maneuvering, and indefatigable intrepidity to get past the enemy guard ships. Penetrating the blockade will require ingenuity, bravery, diligence, and gallantry. Every time you pass through the blockade you help your planet win the war, but if your ship is intercepted, it will mean certain death. Will you take up the challenge?
This game consists of a series of levels called "blockades". In each level, players need to specify a path for one or more spaceships. Their spaceships will follow the specified paths to navigate towards a planet. Some enemy guard ships will try to prevent the player's ships from arriving at the planet. Players need to specify a path that will allow them to arrive at the planet without being caught by the guards - in other words, to "run the blockade". The game shows a 2D, top-down view of the spaceships and their movement. It has an arcade style and game play is based on tactical maneuvering. Movement of ships is loosely based on physics, with some modifications. The game is relatively short and may take about 1 hour to complete. There is a soundtrack of "epic" style dramatic music.
