The Iron Veil circuit seen from above: a winding lane of rails around a glowing planet, with asteroids, apex shards and the launch portal. — Iron Veil, the fifth circuit, before launch.

The courier ship boosting away from the launch portal on Alpha Relay, with the lap timer, hull and fuel gauges and the circuit minimap. — Leaving the portal on Alpha Relay.

Dustfall Station from above: a long straight into tight chicanes, with a fuel station and scattered asteroids. — Dustfall Station: build speed, then shed it.

The Stardust hangar screen: the title, a launch button and the courier ship on an orbital display. — The hangar. Drag the ship to spin it.

A Dogfight 1v1 arena: a cyan ship and an orange ship facing each other across a field of asteroids, with health bars and a three-minute clock. — Dogfight: two ships, one arena, three minutes.

How it plays

Every circuit starts and ends at the same portal. Launch, fly the checkpoints in order, pick up the apex shards along the line, and bring the ship back through the portal to finish the lap. Boost gives a short push and recharges on its own. Asteroids break if you shoot them, and hurt if you don't.

Dogfight 1v1

Private rooms · Wins count when both pilots are signed in

One of you creates a room and shares its eight-letter code; the other joins. Thrust, turn, brake and fire until one ship is left, then call a rematch. If you're both signed in, each win counts on your account page; otherwise nothing about the match is kept.
