| 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. |
