As technology advances even the Earths orbit is being filled with obsolete hardware. Your mission is to collect and recycle this space junk before it fills the sky.

Skylab is a Tetris like falling blocks game on a triangular grid. Rotate and place nine unique shapes to fill in lines and earn points. The intuitive multi-touch gestures work anywhere on the screen. The more lines you complete with a single block the more points you will earn. Dont wait too long for the shape you need or you will run out of space. The downward motion pauses when you touch the screen so you can move the block to exactly where you want it. You can slide pieces into some tight places once you get the hang of it.

Early levels are easy, with only simple shapes. As the game progresses more complex shapes appear. Each level and its illustrated shape represents a milestone in space history.
