Web version seems to have issues with music, try the downloadable version.

Dodge all asteroids, collect bonuses and escape from the Moon by reaching required distance in one run.

Backstory poem:

Looking beyond the horizon

and deep within,
dreaming of the shooting stars
travelling to the lands far away.

But the color blind earthbounds
made the door shut
to watch the world
only through the glass.

And so the journey start,
and so is moving so fast,
and so is moving so far,
far, away to some other place.

Thus went forth,
thus took off,
thus was ...
