Synapsis:

• Earth's resources have dwindled to nothing prompting the Great Space Race in order to help humanity thirst for resources. But beware the more you drill the more the planet becomes unstable increasing meteoroid presence. 
• Cash in your resources at a trade beacon or risk them being lost on death.
• All gathered resources get reset if the player dies.
• You can leave the map at anytime by flying out any screen side, or wait for the planet to implode and you'll be warped. Either way you keep your resources for the level unless you die. 
• Resources that are destroyed by meteoroids are not added to the players inventory.
• You can not visit a level twice.
