The spacecraft would spawn at 8 different locations around the center of the screen in clockwise order. 4 seconds is given to the player to slow down the spacecraft in order to dodge the laser beams. Press anywhere of the device screen to slow down the spacecraft for a moment, with one long press leading to spacecraft slowing down once. Letting go of the press would by default make the spacecraft move to the next adjacent position.
If the spacecraft is shot(except for the first round/level), then the game would immediately be over. No lives, no reincarnation, no whatever -- just play another new game.
