No, just have as many "satellites" in orbit as possible simultaneously. The game is continuous. I got up to 5 and gave up ;)

I got 4 and was very, very proud of myself. That said, if it were controllable through spacebar, I'd play a lot longer.

Try the up arrow.

Spacebar works for me...

For me, it works only after the page is scrolled all the way down to the bottom (so I can only see half the canvas)

use enter

It's an infinite game -- you don't die and score can go both up and down. This is a new kind of game for me.

I hope I'm not at all stepping on the developer's toes by pointing out you can fullscreen it by going to the iframe's source, where you can also have some fun trying to script it.

I'm in the early stages of designing a junior high programming curriculum and think this may be a great example of an engaging, practical experiment.

  boost = function(duration, interval){
      setTimeout(function(){
          clearInterval(window.kp)
      }, duration)
      window.kp = setInterval(function(){
          $(document).keydown()
      }, interval)
  }
