FLIGHT MANUAL

A little push goes a long way.

  1. Match the spin. Hold A/D or ←/→ to burn. Release to coast. S/↓ brakes toward zero; it doesn’t match the target. Negative numbers mean counterclockwise.
  2. Close the angle. Your ivory marker travels on the outer circle. The amber marker is the satellite’s docking lug. Move a little faster to catch up, then ease back.
  3. Make soft contact. When separation and relative spin both turn green, hold Space or Capture until the circle fills. If you drift out, adjust and try again.

Need a hand? “Match target spin” instantly matches the current rate for 8 fuel. Align your markers first. There is no deadline. Short burns preserve fuel.

Six flights unlock in order. Your best scores stay on this device. P/Escape pauses; R retries. Sound is optional.
