Blast through alien waves and topple giant bosses
ActionAstro Blaster puts you in the cockpit of a plucky rocket that fires on its own while waves of darting scouts, zigzag saucers, diving chargers, turret ships and splitting asteroids pour in. Grab power-ups to grow your weapon, keep a shield and a bomb ready, and face a huge boss with shifting attack patterns every fifth wave. Stay unhit to push the score multiplier all the way to x8.
How to play Astro Blaster
- 1Your rocket fires on its own: drag anywhere to fly it (it stays above your finger), or use the mouse or the arrow keys.
- 2Dodge the bright enemy bullets, asteroids and charging ships; you have 3 lives and a short safety blink after each hit.
- 3Destroy enemies for power-ups: double, spread and rapid fire raise your weapon power, a shield blocks one hit and bombs clear the screen.
- 4Every 5th wave a boss attacks with patterns that change as it weakens.
- 5Avoid hits to grow the score multiplier up to x8; each hit resets it and lowers your weapon power by one step.

Tips to play better
- Destroy every ship of a swooping formation to make it drop a power-up.
- Enemy bullets are slow: small sideways steps are usually enough to slip past them.
- Save a bomb for the boss: it wipes out its bullets and knocks off a chunk of its health.
- Big asteroids split into smaller ones, so keep firing until the last pebble is gone.
