The game
After a long mission on the way back to earth, you will pass a black hole that drains almost all of the energy from your spaceship.
Fortunately, a dilapidated energy store from a long-lost star empire is within reach.
The energy storage is divided into 40 stages, which has long since been abandoned, but is still guarded by three drones per stage.
Your task is to collect all the energy cells with your shuttle and avoid the drones.
For safety reasons, the builders of the energy storage system installed two transporters per stage, which are shown in the form of pulsating squares, and when touched, the three drones are beamed back to their starting point.
