Atari Asteroids
Atari Asteroids
Description
Take command of a lone spaceship in Atari Asteroids, a multidirectional shooter arcade game set in the depths of cosmos. The game immerses you among treacherous asteroids and dangerous saucers, threatening your survival at every turn. Your mission is to obliterate all asteroids and saucers, but beware as asteroids fragment into smaller pieces and drift across the screen to reappear from opposite sides. Stay alert for the unpredictable big and precise small flying saucers!
How to play
To control your spaceship, rotate it using left or right arrows, and use the up arrow for thrust. Spacebar is your trigger to shoot! Earn points by destroying asteroids and flying saucers, but remember, the degree of difficulty increases as your total point value rises. Utilize the Hyperspace feature (down arrow) to teleport your ship out of danger, but overuse might result in a crash.
Tips and Tricks
In Atari Asteroids, patience is key. Avoid shooting large asteroids when numerous small ones are still on screen. Prioritize taking out smaller, faster-moving asteroids first as they pose a greater threat. Treat the Hyperspace feature as a last resort only - recurring use can end up destroying your ship.
