About Asteroids
Asteroids is a classic space shooter released by Atari in 1979. Known for its distinctive vector graphics and realistic inertia-based physics, the game simulates the feeling of piloting a spaceship in zero gravity. The screen-wrapping feature allows objects to reappear on the opposite side when they leave the edge.
Game Rules
- Destroy asteroids: Shoot floating asteroids with your gun
- Asteroid splitting: Large asteroids split into smaller ones
- Avoid collisions: Hitting an asteroid costs a life
- Survive: Game over when all lives are lost
Controls
- ←: Rotate left
- →: Rotate right
- ↑: Thrust (accelerate)
- Spacebar: Shoot
Strategy Tips
- Control inertia: No friction in space - rotate to decelerate
- Screen wrapping: Use edges to escape and reappear on the other side
- Large asteroids first: Minimize splitting by targeting large ones early
- Stay centered: More room to maneuver in the middle
- Avoid over-acceleration: Too fast makes control difficult
- Use invincibility: You're invulnerable for 2 seconds after respawning
Scoring System
- Large asteroid: 20 points
- Medium asteroid: 50 points (from large split)
- Small asteroid: 100 points (from medium split)
