How to Play
Tap FIRE to start the game.
Rotate your ship left or right to aim and change direction.
Use thrust to move through space while controlling your momentum.
Shoot asteroids to break them apart and clear the wave.
Clear every asteroid to advance to the next wave with more danger.
Controls
- Tap LEFT to rotate the ship left.
- Tap THRUST to move forward.
- Tap RIGHT to rotate the ship right.
- Tap FIRE to shoot, start the game, or restart after game over.
- On desktop, use Arrow Left or A to rotate left, Arrow Right or D to rotate right, Arrow Up or W to thrust, and Space or K to fire.
Tips
- Use short thrust taps instead of holding forward the whole time.
- Break large asteroids only when you have room to dodge the smaller pieces.
- Watch your speed because too much momentum makes the ship harder to control.
- Use the screen edges to wrap around and escape tight spots.
- Small asteroids move faster and are worth more points, so clear nearby small rocks before they trap you.
