Asteroids brings the classic arcade space shooter to the Game Boy Color. This enhanced 90s remake updates the iconic rock-blasting gameplay with improved graphics and new features not found in the original coin-op release.
How to play
Your objective is to clear the screen of asteroids and flying saucers without being destroyed. Use the D-pad to rotate your ship and apply thrust, and the A and B buttons to fire your weapon and use hyperspace (mapped to the arrow keys, Z, X, and Enter/Shift in your browser).
Tips
- Break larger asteroids carefully, as they split into smaller, faster-moving pieces that can quickly fill the screen.
- Use the hyperspace feature only as a last resort to escape unavoidable collisions, as you may reappear directly in the path of another rock.
- Thrusting continuously makes your ship hard to control; use short taps to maintain your momentum.
