Asteroids meets Galaga: a bullet-hell with deeper content, replayability, diverse levels and a huge mega boss! Pilot your ship through the cold fringes of space while escaping a horde of cosmic dangers. Collect rewards and equip yourself in the armoury to survive the many waves of enemies and destroy the mother ship. Asteroids’ homage
