The game uses a single-screen, wraparound space arena viewed from above. The objective is to destroy asteroids and enemies while avoiding collisions and enemy fire.

Players steer, rotate, accelerate, and fire, then clear successive waves for points. Large asteroids break into smaller pieces, increasing the number of targets and the pressure on the player. Progress is based on survival and score rather than a story campaign or character upgrades.

Keep the ship moving and use the arena’s wraparound edges to escape crowded situations. Fire while rotating through open space so that shots cover several approach angles.

Destroy large asteroids before the screen becomes crowded, but watch for the smaller fragments they create. Save any defensive or special option for moments when several enemies converge, if the version provides one.
