Read full description

A classic asteroids game with vector graphics. Inspired by the coin-op arcade games from the 80's, this game features a parallax background and glowing vector graphics that float on top for a pseudo 3D effect. To play you must stay alive by shooting asteroids, ufos, and space mines. The number of asteroids will increase as the game progresses, and the ufos will get smarter, and the space mines will start appearing sooner. Power up your shields and guns by collecting power-ups from destroyed asteroids. How long can you survive the deadly asteroid field?
