The playing field consists of your spaceship, floating meteoroids, and the occasional UFO taking shots at you. You control the spaceship to avoid collisions and to blast obstacles. You start with 3 spaceships. Bonus ships are awarded at progressive score thresholds, and for successfully destroying a UFO. When you start the game, your spaceship will be in the middle of the screen. Heading toward your ship will be anywhere from 4 to 6 large meteoroids. Your job is to blast those rocks. However, when you blast them, they break up into 2 medium rocks. Blasting a medium rock gives you 2 small rocks. In addition, you have to contend with random UFO attacks. FEATURES: - Touch controls: drag to steer and thrust, tap the right side of the screen to fire. - Optional Bluetooth game controller support (tested with wireless/BT Xbox controllers). - Smart Bomb: clear the screen of asteroids and the UFO in a pinch (limited charges per game). - Adjustable difficulty -- Easy, Normal, or Hard -- from the in-game Settings menu. - Bonus ships awarded for score thresholds met, and for destroying UFOs. - Persistent high score tracking, with the option to reset it anytime from Settings. - Optional Remove Ads purchase for an uninterrupted, ad-free experience. Enjoyed METEORIC? I also made DEFENDER REBORN, another classic arcade tribute, and ALIENSWARMS, an original 3D space combat game unlike anything else -- both available on the App Store.

About

Typing Number Game

Read full description

This is a modest, unknown game that has only been downloaded by 47 people worldwide and has zero ratings. (As of October 6, 2025) But there is one thing to be proud of: The fact that only one person has deleted the game since its release... Although this result does not translate to a rating on the App Store, I consider it to mean that 46 out of 47 people rated it as fun. As you may know, the competition for apps is fierce, and considering the reality that apps are quickly deleted if they are deemed boring or unnecessary by users, this game's survival rate is astonishing. This result is a great encouragement for app developers. But on the other hand, app developers also want my app to be more highly rated and played more often. A game rated by 98% of people... Interested? Why not give it a try? This is a typing game consisting only of numbers. Find the gray number from a list of four numbers and enter it. When all four numbers are gone, a new number will appear. The faster you enter the numbers, the higher your score. If you can't enter the numbers within the time limit, the game is over. There are no complicated rules, so this is a game you can enjoy without worrying about your mind.
