How Drift works

You're an astronaut adrift in a debris field. Every thrust pushes you off in one direction, and in zero gravity you keep sliding until an asteroid stops you. Slide across every fuel cell, then come to rest on the dock. Slide past the edge of the field and you're lost to the void; a black hole swallows you whole. Either way, mission control pulls you back, but the thrust still counts. Wormholes come in pairs: dive into one and you shoot out of its twin, still moving.

The par is the fewest thrusts that solve the puzzle, worked out by a solver when the puzzle was made. Match it for three stars. A new flight launches every day at midnight your time. Monday's field is small and calm, and each day adds hazards until the 9×9 Sunday puzzle with two pairs of wormholes.

How to play Drift

Collect every fuel cell, then come to rest on the dock.

Every thrust counts, even after Undo or Restart. Match the par for ⭐⭐⭐. A hint shows the best next thrust and caps you at ⭐⭐. Keys: Z undo, R restart, H hint.
