Controls
Use the Joystick Controller to aim the spaceship and to fire photon torpedoes at the space objects.
Move the Joystick right to rotate the ship clockwise; move it left to rotate the ship counterclockwise. Push
the Joystick forward to thrust (propel) the ship through space. (The ship moves only in the direction it's
pointed.)
After aiming the spaceship with your Joystick, press the fire button to shoot photon torpedoes at the
opponent objects. Continue to press and release the fire button as fast as possible to quickly destroy all the
