Asteroid Hunter

Asteroid Hunter is a top-down shoot ’em up where you pilot a small, resilient spacecraft. Collect ore, destroy anything in your way and survive as long as possible to earn the best score you can. Flying debris can damage your ship, while hostile forces treat you as a threat.

Pilot and fight

Movement is based on your ship’s momentum and speed, so survival depends on piloting as well as accuracy. Collisions are precise: shots hit what they strike, and near misses can come close. The longer you survive, the harder the game becomes, with an effectively infinite run of increasingly difficult levels, occasional challenge levels and a couple of bosses.

Collect ore and upgrade

Ore lets you buy equipment at upgrade stations. Each asteroid has a randomized chance of containing ore; you need to fly into it to collect it before it dissipates or a scavenger picks it up. You automatically warp to upgrade stations every few levels. Upgrades include alternate firing modes, shields, protective orbs and alternate ships with distinct traits. Ships you unlock remain available, and you can start later games with them.

The game has Easy, Medium and Hard modes. Higher difficulties provide a greater challenge and award more points.
