The briefing

About this game

Astroblitz is an arcade shooter in which you control a spaceship and defend yourself against flying saucers, seekers, satellite dishes, and spinners.

A radar display at the top of the screen helps track enemy movement, gauge distance, and align your position for attacks. Destroy enough enemies to advance to the next wave, while avoiding collisions and shrapnel that cost lives. The game ends when all lives are lost.
