The game starts with the Introduction - Tony is sent to clear up. He activates a highly explosive comet, steers the crystal scrap against it and clears up right away. An everyday scene in our galaxy. A clearing up begins with the main menu.
In the main menu, one can...

The interstellar cleaning procedure stipulates the complete elimination of all crystalline contamination in a region. The cleaning takes place with standard cleaning appliances. Tony flies a refuge shuttle with cleaning satellites.
Once Tony’s refuge shuttle has launched a cleaning satellite, it must always be kept on course. Tony does this through a "ping-pong-game" between shuttle and crystal wall. However be careful! If Tony should lose his satellites, he is withdrawn from the mission instantaneously. Tony calls his cleaning satellites BALLS. Tony has a selection of 4 different BALLS, that are active depending on the ship status:
![]() |
A normal BALL breaks through a crystal and rebounds. |
![]() |
A SHRINK-BALL is a reduced variation and is more difficult, to steer. |
![]() |
A THRU-BRICK breaks through all crystals inexorably. |
![]() |
A comet is a FIRE-BALL, that causes bigger damage and rebounds again. |
Tony is an expert in matters concerning space garbage, .. everybody knows:
multi colred standart space scrab:
The unstable explosion crystal also destroys surrounding crystals. It explodes with the slightest touch and can also be detonated through an EXTRA.
A region soiled with crystals can often be interspersed with persistent slag coated crystals. These slag coated crystals hinder the cleaning process enormously.
Metal slag can only be removed with EXTRAS
A totally slag coated crystal requires 3 hits,...
a greatly slag coated crystal 2 hits,...
and a slightly slag coated crystal only one hit, until it changes into an ordinary destructible crystal.
The camouflaged scrab are an especially annoying obstacle. They are invisible and only become visible after the first hit.
