Dallas-based Blockdot has released “Galactic Pursuit,” an outer-space cops-and-robbers game for LEGO Systems, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of toys for children.

The game, which was created to promote the new LEGO Space Police product launch, lets players pursue villains on a high-speed chase through the galaxy and capture them! The more arrests you make, the more villains you’ll unlock.

Ready to report for duty? Click on the blue arrows to view the ships you can pilot. Press the arrow keys to fly your ship through the galaxy. Use your laser cannons to destroy the villain’s ship and the space obstacles. But be careful: your ship takes damage each time you’re hit by the villain’s laser cannons or you collide with a space obstacle. Take too much damage and your mission comes to an end!
