Fly and shoot your way through 10 mega asteroids! Can you reach the treasure at the centre of the 10th? Fearsome monsters await, lurking in the rocks and vegetation of fantastic planets! Shoot monsters to collect bombs, use bombs to mine for diamonds, collect 10 diamonds to open each portal. Look out for treasure chests and powerups!

The controls are explained at the beginning:

left / right - rotate your ship, or strafe
z - hold to switch from rotate to strafe
x - fire
up - thrust
down - reverse
d - release bomb
left-shift - long-range scanner: the beacon marks the portal

This is a large game: it almost fills a cart, there are just a few spare tokens. It runs at 60 fps and can animate several hundred monsters at once. It uses a gridded map to keep collision detection practical, and drops AI frequency further from the ship to try to hit the frame target. The asteroids are all random and have a range of landscape features, including growing vegetation.

It's like asteroids, but a shoot-em-up. You have to fight to the centre of 10 planets, killing 100s of very stupid and poorly armed monsters, with a gun that is much too powerful. Not only must you kill the peaceful monsters, you have to use bombs to totally destroy their home and mine the diamonds.

Normally it's left/right/forward to fly like an asteroids game, but hold down z and you can move up/down/left right like galaxian. Press x to fire, press d to release a bomb.

It's got some free music I pasted in, and a single explosion effect, but otherwise no audio yet :(

Any comments on the control scheme, difficulty, or AI would be very welcome!

Can you score 100? Possible, but very hard. Press x (or c?) for a cloud of ink, it makes you invulnerable for 0.5s.

Please fix the sound effects for me :(
