Overview

The player views a system of planets from a god-like perspective, as Steam describes it. Each owned planet produces ships over time, and the player uses the motion controllers to send fleets from planet to planet to capture more of them, which in turn increases ship production.^[1] The aim is to capture every planet and eliminate the opposing players.

A match can include up to seven computer-controlled opponents in a free-for-all. Game speed, map size, ship limits, the number of opponents and their difficulty can be configured, and maps are procedurally generated for each game. Global statistics and leaderboards track the total number of ships destroyed and the number of opponents defeated at each difficulty setting.^[1]
