In Astropocalypse you take control of a hotshot meteor bent on destroying the galaxy.
Use your directional pad to steer your meteor buddy and ram it into nearby planets in the current solar system.
Press the Z button to boost forward quicker at the expense of using more energy.
Each destroyed planet gives you back energy useful to prolong your path of destruction.
Use your radar to track planet orbits, but also pay attention to the red curves in the arena, follow them to find orbiting planets.
Additionally, ram into the sun at the center of the solar-system to gain back energy and keep wrecking those helpless planets.
Shoot the Cores!
How fast can you destroy the Grandmothership and all of her cores?
- Shoot by mashing or holding the 'x' button.
- Aim your option buddy by holding the 'z' button (pauses the game as you're aiming).
- Destroy the big 'eye' cores to earn power-ups and get a better fighting chance against evil.
- Wreck havoc, destroy as much as possible for extra points!
- Watch your shields (bottom of the game window), if they get depleted it's "game over, man!"
This game was heavily influenced by the third level of R-Type. I still remember how it blew my mind when I first played it as a kid in the 80's arcades. Please enjoy and feedback is always appreciated. Cheers!

Boomby is a special kind of bomb that never stops exploding. Help him out by finding the nearest pool of water as soon as possible, but not without collecting some coin on the way there.
How to Play:
- Boomby explodes (aka: jumps) every 2 seconds. Keep track of the timebar at the bottom of the screen, time your moves right.
- There are multiple routes to the pool, keep exploring if you get stuck or frustrated at a section of the map.
- Trampolines are a tricky, patience pays off. Try not to rush out of the first explosion after touching one. After the first explosion, the bounce rhythm balances out.
Punch your way through 32 levels of intense airborne action.
Clear all the enemies on the screen without touching the floor.
Controls:
- arrow keys/d-pad: move your character and select the direction to punch.
- x: punch
- z: jump
Tips:
- successfully landing a hit allows you to jump again in the air.
- punching up in the air works effectively as a double jump.
