How to Play Asteroids
Left and right arrows rotate the ship. Up arrow thrusts. Space fires lasers. Asteroids break into smaller pieces when shot — clear them all to move to the next wave. Watch your momentum: in space, there's no friction.
Tips & Strategy
- Stay near the center. The edges wrap around but it's easier to read incoming rocks from the middle.
- Short thrust bursts only. Long burns send you flying into trouble.
- Take out big rocks first — they spawn the most fragments.
- If you're swarmed, rotate and fire while drifting; movement and aim are independent.
