Tips

 * Try to get a big upgrade in the beginning (unless you're in hard mode): upgrade your ship (last upgrade option) and try to get the first missile upgrade. Your shots you cause much more damage and you'll get more green/red gems to update further more!
 * When you see a pink gem and you have full energy, try to get as many enemies/asteroids as possible on the screen and then grab the gem. It will destroy everything and you'll likely get more gems!
 * When you do a spaceship upgrade (last upgrade option), it downgrades all your upgrade options by one.
