Bye Asteroid
Read full descriptionHide full description
Bye Asteroid is a fast, cute, brutally tricky planet defender. Asteroids, comets, UFOs and rogue worlds close in from every edge of the screen. Tap to destroy them before they punch through your shield. Hold your planet to charge a Nova and wipe the whole field at once. Two simple verbs, a hundred ways to die. DEFEND THE GALAXY A handcrafted campaign of 32 encounters across four worlds: Earth, Mars, the Black Hole and Nebula Prime. No two levels play the same. One hides mines that only hurt you if you tap them. One gives you a fixed number of shots and dares you to waste one. One sets your planet drifting so your aim never sits still. One turns half the field invisible. Gravity wells bend incoming paths. Twin threats strike from opposite flanks. It all builds to The Anomaly, the source of every asteroid storm. FAIR, NOT CHEAP Every threat gives you a real, visible reaction window. Bosses telegraph their moves and break when you Nova their shield. Choose Relaxed, Standard or Veteran at any time, and earn up to three stars per level for accuracy and a clean shield. DAILY SCORE ATTACK Ninety seconds. One planet. Equal gear for everyone, one life. A fresh layout every day, plus the classic fixed run. Chase Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum medals and compare scores on Game Center. THE THREATS Splitters crack in two. Phantoms teleport out from under your finger. Dashers lunge the moment you look away. Cloakers fade in and out. Guardians hide behind armor. Regenerators heal if you leave them alone. Learn every tell, or get overwhelmed. CHAIN BIG COMBOS Destroy without stopping to climb a multiplier. Max it out to ignite Fever mode. Snipe a threat a hair before impact for a Close Call bonus. Keep the chain alive and the score runs away with you. BUILD YOUR RUN Draft powerful modules mid level: chain lightning, an orbiting drone, piercing taps, kill shockwaves, critical hits and combo detonations. Equip power-ups like the Nova Bomb, Time Warp, Auto-Laser, Shield Kit and Score Surge. Spend stardust on permanent upgrades to your shield, your reach and your rewards. BECOME THE BLACK HOLE Battle Royale flips the whole game. Now you are the black hole. Steer with a floating joystick, swallow debris to grow and devour computer-controlled rivals before they devour you, while a collapsing storm ring squeezes the arena. Last one standing wins. PLAY YOUR WAY - Endless mode: one long run, your name on the board - Mastery stars on every level that reward accuracy, not just survival - Commander Rank that banks XP from every run - Daily missions, a login streak and dozens of achievements - Cute planet faces that track the nearest threat and flinch when it lands - Accessibility: one-handed nova, reduce flashing, left-handed pause button - English and German Free to play and it works offline. Your progress can back up to your own iCloud. Download Bye Asteroid and hold the line.
