Pocket Ship

It's that time of galactic year again! You know, that time in every science-fiction universe when the galaxy's greatest pilots are pitted against each other in a grand test of skill, reflexes, and stylistic spaceship design!

Ever since The Incident, this particular universe is rather small. Only remnants of what was once a thriving interstellar civilisation remain, floating across the void. But that's no excuse to skip out on the annual contest!

Build your own Pocket Ship, a spacecraft small enough to safely navigate this Microverse, and use your skills to dodge, take aim, and destroy the floating debris (and your competition) to score points. The highest scorer takes the victory!

Be careful though... the Microverse is no place for the faint of heart... or for those without speed lines on their ships.
