Digital manual description
Next stop is the Dogstar Asteroid belt for some deep space fun! Help Frankie collect dog biscuits hidden inside the asteroids.


 * For each round, Frankie gets ten ships that need a specific number of asteroids to turn into a dog biscuit.


 * Your computer assistant will tell you exactly how many asteroids each ship can take. The amount is displayed on the right side of the dashboard.


 * Frankie is your cursor. Move him to the asteroid you want, click to grab it, and then move Frankie over the Spaceship and click to put it into the ship.


 * The asteroids or the number on the asteroid appears on the right side of the dashboard.


 * When you have loaded the ship with asteroids or numbers that equal the amount on the right side of the dashboard, click on the "Done" lever to send the ship on its way.


 * If you want to remove an asteroid or number you placed in a ship, just click on where it is displayed on the left dashboard.


 * Occasionally an Alien Mutt flies by in her spaceship and attempts to shoot the asteroid Frankie needs. Move Frankie over her ship and click to knock her off the screen. The more you stop her, the more bonus biscuits you earn!


 * As you successfully fill ships, you'll discover more and more numbers fun: matching, adding, subtracting, place value and regrouping.
