ASTEROIDS

Asteroids is a loving throwback to the classic arcade shooter. You pilot a lone spaceship in open space, blasting and dodging the asteroids that drift toward you. Simple, timeless, and endlessly replayable.

How to Play Asteroids

Asteroids float in from all directions, and you shoot them apart while steering clear of collisions. Larger rocks break into smaller ones, so the screen can get busy fast. Survive, keep firing, and push your score as high as the debris will allow.

Controls

• Steer: Use the arrow keys to rotate and thrust your ship.
• Shoot: Press the fire key or tap to blast asteroids.
• Mobile: Touch controls supported.

Tips and Tricks

• Keep moving. A drifting ship is easy for asteroids to catch.
• Break big rocks apart, then clean up the small fragments quickly.
• Do not get boxed into a corner of the screen by incoming debris.
• Fire in controlled bursts so you always have a clear shot lined up.
