Astrofield

Test your (retro!) piloting skills

Pilot a spaceship through 10 zones of randomly spawned asteroids. Use your dodge-roll maneuver to make it to the space station. Easy to pickup, difficult to master,  every movement counts!

Most ships don't have any weapons, and a single hit from an asteroid is enough to cause most ships to explode. This game focuses on defensive flying, and risk / reward maneuvers for progression. 

Some ships have you commit to your velocity when using a dodge-roll, or even basic movements, whereas others give you much better handling and maneuverability, every ship is unique.

-------Goal-------

Collect the blinking crates (either one, two, or three, depending on difficulty setting) that spawn at regular intervals, in order to proceed to the next stage. If you complete stage 10 you will reach the credits.

-------Tips-------

Each ship handles very differently, changing how you approach the game.

HUD Icon in top left corner indicates when your dodge-roll, or other ability is ready to use.

You can still collect blinking crates while in a dodge-roll state.
