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.
