Meteoroids 3D

Meteoroids 3D is a tribute to Asteroids that brings its asteroid-destroying gameplay into three-dimensional scenarios with weapons and ship physics. You pilot a starship and destroy meteors across 24 levels named after the Greek alphabet.

Levels and challenges

Each level starts an incremental meteor-destruction count that ends after a set time. You can set the time limit for each level from 3 to 15 minutes, and compete for records, including the record for destroying meteors in 20 seconds. The game has two initial scenarios, while its main goal is to clear meteors rather than complete scenarios.

Weapons and enemies

The game has seven weapons. You gain new weapons as you progress through the levels, or can activate all of them from the start. Energy weapons are more effective but use a lot of energy. Missiles target the nearest meteor when no enemies are present; when enemies appear, they home in on the most dangerous one.

Alongside the UFO, Meteoroids 3D features a Demon, a Mother Ship and fast, dangerous enemy fighters that launch rockets. You can deactivate enemies to play with meteors alone.

Ship controls

You can choose first-person or third-person view in the configuration menu. An optional full-physics setting gives the ship the same inertia as the small ship in the original game, making it more complex to control; simple mode remains available.

Records

Leaderboards and records track various items, including the time taken to destroy meteors. The game also lets you compare results through Steam statistics.
