How to Play

Your objective is to survive as long as possible while destroying asteroids and enemy ships for points. You control a small triangular ship that can rotate left or right, thrust forward, and fire your laser cannon.

The screen wraps around, so flying off one edge brings you back on the opposite side. Asteroids break into smaller, faster-moving pieces when shot, and you must clear them all to progress.

Periodically, enemy UFOs will appear and fire at you; destroying them earns bonus points. Use the hyperspace button as an emergency escape to teleport to a random location on the screen, but beware, as you might reappear directly in the path of an asteroid.

A key beginner strategy is to methodically break large asteroids into smaller, more manageable pieces while keeping your ship moving to avoid collisions. Focus on clearing a safe zone early in the run, then prioritize eliminating the faster, small asteroids and aggressive UFOs as the screen becomes more crowded.

In tense moments, use short bursts of thrust to maneuver and hyperspace only when absolutely necessary.
