About this game

In Asteroid Storm, you command the Astro-runner spacecraft through a dangerous field of drifting asteroids. Blast the rocks while maneuvering to avoid collisions.

Large asteroids split into two medium asteroids when hit, while medium asteroids break into smaller ones. Small asteroids disintegrate completely when destroyed.

Randomly appearing alien spacecraft add another threat, attempting to ram and shoot your ship. The game was developed by David Elliot and published by Micro Power.
