Space Escape!
Space Escape is currently in a beta testing phase. It's stable and beatable but may still change in the final release.
Navigating through asteroids and mines.
Your custom-built VelociRaker is the smallest, fastest ship in the known universe. That isn't bragging or marketing hype, it has to be fact because your life currently depends on it!
The BitPulser cruisers will be exiting their warp wormholes soon and although they can't match you for flight speed, their missiles can get awfully close. You're about to take the most dangerous path possible in order to outwit your pursuers through the Wail Gulf, a mess of mines, asteroids, and deadly high-momentum fragments culminating in a narrow canyon through which no other ship could possibly fit but yours!
It's unlikely that you'll live, but this will be the most daring, the most infamous chase in history. It's time to make your Space Escape!
