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. |
