Asteroids — About this game
Pilot a drifting spacecraft and break the surrounding asteroids with cannon fire. Large rocks split into smaller hazards, while enemy saucers add incoming shots at higher difficulties. Rotate, thrust and coast carefully because momentum remains after turning. Hyperspace offers an emergency escape to a random location, with no guarantee that the new position is safe.
