About

Asteroid Run

Features
Read full description

Did you know that the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1? Asteroid Run gives you the chance to prove you've got what it takes, or at least survive longer than your friends or anybody else by competing in the global high scores! Use your finger to maneuver your ship around an ever increasing asteroid field, dodging or destroying whatever comes at you all the while building your score. If it gets too much look out for the rare "hot rocks" that if destroyed will clear the screen. Your automatic front facing lazer increases in power every 2,500 points and there's an extra life for every 25,000 points that you score.
