Mega Roids

Mega Roids is a first-person retro arcade shooter in which the asteroids you blast create hazards you must survive. You play as Jack, a new contractor for the ACME Space Mining Company, paid a cut of every asteroid core you recover. Your first shift takes place inside a sealed ACME Hyper-Toroidal Space Bubble, aboard an unfamiliar NESDA Mining Spacecraft 4000x. An alien raider known as the Head is after the cores.

Three-stage loop

Lives and score carry over between the three stages. After clearing them all, the loop starts again at a higher difficulty, with faster and deadlier challenges.

Blast through the stages

In Stage 1, Roid Blaster, you roam a wrap-around asteroid field and crack rocks open for treasure while green and blue alien raiders hunt your loot. Manage engine heat: pushing too hard can overheat the engine and stall your ship. Fill the portal to move on.

In Stage 2, Roid Run, you fly through a first-person canyon where hitting a wall means instant death. Destroy wall, rim and mid-wall turrets, collect high-value orb targets and reach the exit portal at speed, or start the run over.

In Stage 3, Mega Roids, you orbit the massive alien Head and break its rotating 80-panel shield. Fire missiles through the gaps to hit the Head itself while dodging charged eye missiles and a barrage of spat asteroids.
