| Wait for the
applet and sounds to finish loading, this may take a minute or two.
The game screen will show "Game Over - 'S' to Start" once
everything is ready. In the meantime you can review the instructions
below.
Note: If the game doesn't seem to be responding to key
presses, click your mouse pointer in the game area.

| Playing the
Game |
| Use the keyboard
controls described below to maneuver your ship, destroying as many
asteroids as you can while avoiding collision with them. Also watch
for the flying saucers armed with guided missiles.
If you warp into hyperspace, your ship will momentarily disappear
then reappear on another part of the screen, gradually fading in.
During this time the ship is invulnerable. Likewise, when your ship is
destroyed, a new one will appear in the center of the screen. You can
still maneuver and fire during this time so if you are in imminent
danger, you have a couple of seconds to get out of it.
