The gray spherical objects are bubbles that you can pop with a finger press. Don't be too quick to get rid of all of them though, as they can be useful for protecting your growing circles from dangerous objects. Only ever clear just enough space to allow growth to continue before popping any more.
Tactical, beautiful, and wholly unique, the GOTY-winning sci-fi RTS returns with Homeworld 3. Assume control and battle through fleet combat in dazzling, fully 3D space while the award-winning story unfolds on a galactic scale.
