The briefing

About this game

Blast Off is an interstellar arcade game in which you pilot a rocket ship through gravity-filled planetary systems to rescue lost astronauts. Guide them through the warpgate to safety while managing the forces that can either assist your journey or send you crashing down.

Planets and asteroids attract the ship, black holes exert even stronger gravitational pulls, and white holes create reverse gravity that pushes the ship away. The game features 45 missions across four difficulty settings, with success assessed by remaining fuel and air as well as the number of astronauts collected. Final outcomes earn Silver, Gold, or Brick medals.
