Description

Sometimes you just need to blast some asteroids, meteors is a furious game of shooting three different types of asteroids and 2 types of flying saucers.

Each level becomes increasingly difficult with more dangerous flying saucers and more asteroids to shoot.

Don’t forget hyperspace is always available for those critical moments - don’t worry the game will try and place you somewhere “Safe” ;-)

HINTS & TIPS

These hints will allow you to get a better score.

1.Dealing with the UFO.

The UFO is dangerous and in later levels will move faster, fire more missiles and become more accurate. However it can be beaten and even help you. First of all if it appears close to you move away as shots will be less likely to hit you. Second don’t take your eyes of any Asteroids they are still dangerous. Thirdly keep dodging and firing at the Flying Saucer.

2.So many Asteroids how do I get them all.

When a level starts you will be presented with a number of large Asteroids - these are slower moving than the medium and small Asteroids - so take you time and take them out with as many medium and small Asteroids, to do this don’t fire in a straight line but fire in a 15/30 degree spread as this will help destroy more Asteroids. On later levels Asteroids break into ever increasing and faster Asteroids so you will need to use instinctive firing. Try not to put you finger over the ship but touch around the ship.

3.Understanding the screen layout.

One very useful tip is to understand how the Asteroids move off the screen, the screen has a margin about the size of a large Asteroid, this means when an Asteroid disappears it will reappear after its travelled through the margin. You can also shoot Asteroids while they are off the screen. So try and send volleys of shots where you think the Asteroid(s) will return on the screen.

4.Keep in the middle.

When playing try and keep the ship near the middle - it will make it less likely an Asteroid will creep up on you. After Hyperspace try and return the ship to the middle of the screen.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q

How do you use the thrust.

A

Simply slide your finger and the ship will thrust towards your last finger position.

Q

How do you use the Hyperspace function.

A

If you find yourself in a panic then simply touch the screen with two fingers and the ship will go into hyperspace - the good news is that the game will place you somewhere relatively safe, the bad news is that the position is random.

Q

It sometimes takes a long time to place the ship after losing a life.

A

The game will always wait until it is relatively safe to place you back in the Asteroid belt - so be patient and make sure your finger is ready.
