  • When you acquire enough gems, you'll unlock the 'store' which let's you choose from a randomly selected batch of power-ups that will increase the power and ability of your ship.
  • As time goes on, asteroids and enemies spawn more frequently, and become more difficult.
  • Survive, shoot enemies and asteroids to get points that go towards unlocking new power-ups and ships.
