Asteroids – Space Shooter
About Asteroids – Space Shooter
Asteroids is a classic space shooter released by Atari in 1979. Pilot a spaceship through an asteroid field, blasting rocks into smaller pieces. The screen wraps around edges, creating a 360-degree combat environment that tests reflexes and spatial awareness.
How to Play
Use Left/Right arrows to rotate, Up arrow to thrust forward, and Space to fire. Large asteroids split into medium, then small ones when shot. The screen wraps around — objects leaving one edge reappear on the opposite side. You have 3 lives.
Tips and Strategy
- Keep moving. A stationary ship is an easy target — use thrust to stay mobile.
- Clear small asteroids first. They’re faster and harder to hit.
- Use hyperspace wisely. The screen edge wrap can save you or trap you.
- Aim ahead. Lead your targets since bullets travel at finite speed.
