Tap a unit to see where it can go (blue tiles). Tap a blue tile to preview the move, tap it again to confirm. Then choose Attack, Capture or Wait from the menu. Attackable enemies are marked; the preview card shows what both sides will lose before you commit.

Press and hold a tile. The card shows the terrain's defence stars and the unit's health, movement, range, fuel and ammunition.

Tap the commander card in the top-left corner. The briefing lists the win and lose conditions, the bonus objectives, the planet's effects on your units and your commander's protocols.

The game autosaves at the start of every turn, after every action and the moment the app goes to the background, so you can close it at any time. To keep a particular moment, open the menu (☰) and choose Save game; there are three slots. Load game on the title screen or in the menu restores any of them.

Open the menu (☰) during a battle: Restart mission starts over, Surrender ends the battle as a defeat. Both ask for a second tap.

Each unit has a drive type. Infantry crosses almost anything slowly, hover and grav vehicles need open ground or roads, crawlers are slow off-road, and aircraft ignore terrain but burn fuel every turn. Water and chasms need a bridge; lava and energy fields block everything. Some planetary conditions seal terrain for certain unit types; the briefing's Planet tab says which.

Aircraft burn fuel at the start of every turn and crash when it runs out. Land them on a Launch Facility or a Landing Pad you own to refuel and repair.

The bar on the commander card fills from damage you deal and take, from captures and from objectives. The ticks mark the cost of the tactical and the overdrive protocol; when the bar reaches a tick, the button appears. A protocol lasts for the current turn.

No. Space Command has no ads, no in-app purchases and no account. It works offline.
