AstroFire

Player notes

About this game

AstroFire puts a small spacecraft against an alien assault on New Earth. Turn the ship, apply thrust and fire through the objects around you while keeping track of shields and weapon power. The current game's Instructions screens confirm the controls and the meaning of its coloured pickups.

Choose Start Game and then an episode. Left and Right rotate the ship, Up applies forward thrust and Ctrl fires. P pauses and resumes, S toggles sound and Escape leaves the game. Steering changes the direction the ship faces, so use short bursts of thrust while learning how it moves.

Purple gems award an extra life, red gems replenish shields and gold gems increase firepower. Watch the shield bar instead of assuming every collision immediately ends a life. Read the in-game Instructions before starting if you want to review the pickup icons.
