asteroids

A retro arcade space shooter built with Pyxel. Dodge rocks, blast everything, collect powerups, survive as long as you can. Play solo or grab a friend for local 2-player co-op!

Destroy all asteroids to advance to the next wave - each wave spawns more rocks, moving faster. Large asteroids shatter into smaller fragments that scatter based on the impact angle.

Flying saucers appear from wave 3 onward. They shoot at the nearest player, and at higher difficulty levels they'll chase and steal your powerups. Destroying a UFO always drops a powerup.

Destroyed asteroids have a chance to drop a powerup. Most are helpful... some are not!
