The main aim of the game is to ferry objects (mainly crates) from one location to another. You do this by using your tracktor beam to drag them about. You use the change selection keys normally z and x, to select which object to tracktor beam. If the object you have selected has to be moved before you complete the level a green arrow will appear in the top right of the place you have to move it to. If you are able to keep the object/s in their finishing locations for a short while the level will finish. The object is shown top right of the screen in the infobar to the right of it is a bar indicating its health. The infobar also has two long bars that show your fuel and health. To the left is the current best time, the par time, your score and your time. The control will depend on the type of ship you use, for the directional ship the left, right, up and down keys (normally the arrow keys) will control respective thrusters, for the rotational ship the left and right keys rotate it and the up key powers the main thruster. The length and strength of the tracktor beam will depend on the level, these will effect how things react when tracktored. Your ships mass and the objects mass will also effect how it reacts.
