About

Cosmic Blaster

Features
Read full description

Cosmic Blaster is a modern re imagining of the 1981 classic Astro Smash, rebuilt for macOS. Command a ground based artillery cannon and defend Earth against an endless storm of meteors, spinning bombs, and hostile satellites. The sky grows more dangerous as your score rises — every object you miss costs you points, and survival becomes a thrilling test of reflexes and strategy. Destroy meteors before they split, intercept unpredictable spinning bombs, and take down deadly satellites that fire homing missiles at your last known position. Collect Time Warp Crystals to slow or speed the action for up to 10 seconds, turning the tide when things get intense. With Game Centre leaderboards, achievements, bonus lives, and continuously scaling difficulty, Cosmic Blaster delivers pure arcade challenge with modern polish. Features • Fast, responsive arcade gameplay inspired by a beloved classic “Cosmic Blaster is a fast-paced arcade shooter… defending Earth against bombardment.” • Dynamic meteor split chain system — destroy large meteors low on screen and they divide into medium and small fragments • Deadly satellites that fire aimed missiles every 1.8 seconds • Time Warp Crystals that trigger 4 second SLOW or FAST effects • Bonus lives every 2,000 lifetime points • Continuously scaling difficulty — faster spawns, faster enemies, more chaos • Game Centre leaderboards & achievements • Keyboard or Gamepad support • Retro inspired visuals with colour cycling backgrounds at high scores • Negative scoring & score based game over for true arcade tension Whether you're chasing a high score or mastering the split chain mechanic, Cosmic Blaster delivers a pure, endlessly replayable arcade experience.
