## What is Disasteroids?

You don't shoot the asteroids. You touch them.

Tilt your device and your little ship drifts — really drifts, with the weight and momentum of the arcade original. Then you reach into the swarm with a finger and rocks burst under your touch.

It is a strange and lovely feeling, and it gets its hooks in fast. Lean away from a rock closing on your left. Pop it. Pop the two pieces it becomes. Keep the chain alive and your multiplier climbs; miss and it's gone. Somewhere out in the dark a saucer notices you and starts making its way over.

Push far enough and the sky fills up: splinters everywhere, a saucer's shots crossing the field, your ship sliding through a gap you're not sure was there. That's the good part.

Game Center leaderboards and a pile of achievements, including one you're not going to find by accident.

Built for iPhone and iPad, edge to edge, with the moody hum of deep space behind it.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-19

Disasteroids is rebuilt from the ground up.

It flies better — the tilt is smoother and the rocket has its old flame back, small at rest and blazing when you lean into it. Menus slide the way they used to. The saucers are the size they should have been all along, and you'll hear them coming before you see them.

Same game underneath: tilt to survive, tap to destroy.
