How to Play
- Use the Left and Right arrows to rotate your ship in the desired direction.
- Press the Up arrow to apply thrust and move forward. Remember: momentum is key!
- Shoot asteroids using the Space bar. Large asteroids will break into smaller, faster fragments.
- Eliminate the hostile Alien UFOs that occasionally enter the screen and fire back at you.
- Avoid colliding with any objects. If you hit an asteroid or alien ship, you lose a life.
- Master the 'Screen Wrap'—moving off one edge of the screen will make you reappear on the opposite side.

FAQs
How do I gain more points?
Points are earned by destroying asteroids and alien ships. Smaller asteroid fragments are worth more points than larger ones because they are harder to hit, and alien UFOs provide a massive score bonus.
What happens if I fly off the edge of the screen?
The game features a 'wraparound' mechanic. If you fly off the top, you'll reappear at the bottom, and the same applies to the left and right sides. Use this to your advantage to escape tight spots!
Is there a limit to how many bullets I can fire?
While you have unlimited ammo, there is a limit to how many bullets can be on the screen at once. Tapping the fire button rapidly is more effective than holding it down.
Can I play this on my phone or tablet?
Yes! The game detects touch-enabled devices and automatically displays virtual buttons for Thrust, Rotate, and Fire, providing a seamless mobile experience.
Do the asteroids get faster over time?
As you clear waves of asteroids, the overall speed and density of the field increases, and alien ships appear more frequently, significantly raising the challenge.
How many lives do I start with?
You typically start with 3 lives. Colliding with an asteroid, an alien ship, or an enemy bullet will cost you one life.
Is there a way to pause the game?
Yes, you can press the 'P' key at any time to pause the action and take a breather.
