ASTROSMASH
A demake of Mattel Intellivision's 1981 classic!
Don't be fooled by level 1, this is retro gaming where patience and mastery are the only way to survive to level 6! And if you do, it gets even more manic as your score increases.
Shoot the rocks to score and avoid being hit. Don't let the spinners detonate on the ground, and dispatch the guided missiles and ufos before they hit you. Level up at 1k, 5k, 20k, 50k and 100k.
For the full experience, flip through the original guide for an overview of the enemies you will be facing, point scoring, levels and a few tips:

When it was launched, Mattel hosted a shootoff with serious prize money for the early 80's:

This is my first pico-8 game, and I've tried as best possible to emulate the original experience that I remembered playing (for hours and hours) with my whole family. Comments welcomed.
