About This Game

The year is 3055. For decades, mining the solar system’s main asteroid belt from the orbit of mars has produced enormous rare mineral reserves and brought closer the dream of interstellar travel. Now however, something has altered the planetoids’ orbit and as mining units are lost, foul play is suspected...

Take on the role of an interceptor shuttle and blast asteroids, UFOs and rogue agents in frantic retro action.

Features

Survive as long you can to set the high score and unlock new ships
Easy to pick-up, but increasingly challenging gameplay
Classic, arcade action

Hints

In Space, deceleration is slow; re-orientating the ship and accelerating in a new direction is far more effective.
Larger asteroids will sometimes drop bonuses
Bonuses remain for varying amounts of time, be strategic in their collection

Notes

Two gamepad controllers are required for local co-op
On first run of the game, be sure to pick your appropriate screen resolution from the options menu; this may only take visual effect when the level loads

Update, February 2020:

Just discovered this game, it is super addictive, simple and a fun take on the old astroids game but with a modern spin... spent a while trying to unlock the first ship and the fact there are different classes and plays tyles of ships to choose from I rate this game stunning!

Good fun, great challenge, something casual that fills spare time easily. There are four types of ship, each with a good unique feel. Soundtrack is catchy and the game as a whole has a huge throwback to the arcade genre. Highest score for myself so far is 49k. Could be good to see some small expansions adding more maps and ships, etc. Or maybe even a sequel.
