Rotate, thrust, and blast drifting space rocks to pieces.
How to Play Asteroid Blast
- Desktop: ← → to rotate, ↑ to thrust, Space to fire. Mobile: use the on-screen buttons.
- You keep drifting after you stop thrusting — short bursts of thrust are the trick.
- Large rocks (20 pts) split into medium (50 pts), then small shards (100 pts).
- In a pinch, hit hyperspace (Shift or the ✦ button) to teleport to a random spot! It takes 8s to recharge and has a small chance of blowing up your ship — a true last gamble.
About Asteroid Blast
Asteroid Blast is an asteroid shooter game that channels the original vector-shooter arcade genre. Your ship moves only by rotating and thrusting — and thanks to inertia, momentum doesn't stop when you do.
Shoot a large rock and it splits into two medium ones; medium rocks split into two fast little shards. Smaller means faster and worth more points. Fly off one edge and you reappear on the opposite side.
Clear every rock to bring on the next, bigger wave in this space rock shooting game. How many waves can you survive on three lives? Your best score is saved.
Tips & Strategy
- Keep your ship nearly still with minimal thrust and aim by rotating alone — that way you can shoot steadily without being carried off by inertia.
- Blasting large rocks recklessly scatters fast little shards everywhere. When rocks pile up, clear them one at a time to keep open space around you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why won't my ship stop moving?
The ship moves with inertia, so it keeps drifting even after you let go of thrust. That's why using short bursts of thrust is key to accurate aiming and dodging.
What happens when I shoot a rock?
A large rock (20 pts) splits into two medium rocks (50 pts), and each medium rock splits into two small shards (100 pts). The smaller the piece, the faster it moves and the more it's worth.
What happens at the edge of the screen?
The screen wraps around, so flying off one edge brings you back on the opposite side. You can use this to escape to the other side when you're cornered.

Before your first round
Asteroid Blast separates turning from thrust, and the ship keeps drifting when thrust stops. Use short bursts and aim while coasting. Breaking a large asteroid creates more moving hazards, so manage the space around the ship as well as the score.
