(You
can play this OFFLINE if you keep this browser page open)
Wait for the
applet and sounds to finish loading, this may take a minute or two.
The game screen will show "Game Over - 'S' to Start" once everything
is ready. In the meantime you can review the instructions below.
Note:
If the game doesn't seem to be responding to key presses, click your
mouse pointer in the game area.
| Playing the
Game |
| Use the keyboard
controls described below to maneuver your ship, destroying as
many asteroids as you can while avoiding collision with them.
Also watch for the flying saucers armed with guided missles.
If you warp into hyperspace, your ship will momentarily disappear
then reappear on another part of the screen, gradually fading
in. During this time the ship is invunerable. Likewise, when
your ship is destroyed, a new one will appear in the center
of the screen. You can still maneuver and fire during this time
so if you are in imminent danger, you have a couple of seconds
to get out of it.
