In Hit the Space game, you're on a daring mission to explore and colonize planets in a nearby star system. Your goal is to find habitable worlds while navigating the perils of space, including dangerous planets and the lurking threat of black holes. Hold the spacebar to accelerate toward your destination, aiming for pulsing green planets that serve as checkpoints. Watch your fuel carefully visible as a blue bar in the top left since running out means no more acceleration until you reach the next checkpoint, where your fuel is replenished. Self-destruct and restart if needed by pressing Enter or R.
