How to Play
Keyboard
AD or arrows turn. The shield points where the nose points.
W thrusts, S brakes, Shift dashes.
Hold Space to raise the shield. It drains, then you have to let go.
Esc or P pauses. 123 pick upgrades.
Touch
Put a thumb down on the left to get a stick. The ship turns toward it and pushes harder the further you drag.
Rest in the middle to brake.
Right side: hold SHIELD, tap DASH.
Rules
Small rocks bounce off the shield. Big ones still hurt.
Level up and pick an upgrade. Later upgrades let the shield break rocks.
A bounced rock that hits another rock keeps a combo going.
Near misses score. The Daily Challenge uses the same rocks for everyone today.
About
Trent and I wrote this in C++ in September 2019. It was supposed to be Asteroids. The ship flew
and the rocks wrapped, but the gun never worked, so we called it Avoid-a-roids.
This browser version keeps the no-shooting rule and adds a deflector shield, upgrades, combos, a daily
challenge, and a synth soundtrack made in your browser. The Classic look uses the original shapes and
colors.
