How do you play Space Rocks online?

Rotate your ship with the left and right arrows, fire the engine with the up arrow and shoot with the space bar (or use the A/D/W keys or the on-screen buttons on your phone). The ship has inertia and drifts, and both the ship and the asteroids wrap around the screen edges. Break the asteroids into ever smaller pieces and avoid collisions.

How many points are the asteroids worth?

A large asteroid scores 20 points and splits into two medium ones, a medium asteroid scores 50 points and splits into two small ones, and a small asteroid scores 100 points — the smallest fragments are worth the most. Shooting down the flying saucer scores 200 points.

Free online Space Rocks – the classic arcade space shooter

Play Space Rocks online for free — a classic retro-style arcade space shooter. You pilot a ship drifting through space: rotate, fire the engine and shoot the spinning asteroids. A large rock breaks into two medium ones, and each medium rock into two small ones — the smaller the fragment, the more points it is worth. Watch out for the flying saucer that opens fire from time to time. Your ship and the asteroids wrap around the screen edges. Play with the arrow keys, WASD and the space bar, or with on-screen buttons on your phone. Your best score is saved in your browser.

How to play

Rotate your ship with the left/right arrows (or A/D), fire the engine with the up arrow (or W) and shoot with the space bar. On a phone use the buttons under the board.
Your ship has inertia — it keeps drifting after you release the engine. The ship, asteroids and bullets wrap around the screen edges and come back on the other side.
A large asteroid splits into two medium ones when hit, and a medium one into two small ones. Points: large 20, medium 50, small 100 — the smallest fragments are worth the most.
Every so often a flying saucer appears and shoots in your direction. Shoot it down for 200 points.
You have 3 lives. After a crash your ship respawns in the centre and blinks for 2 seconds — it is invulnerable while blinking.
Clear the whole screen and the next level starts with more asteroids. Pause: the P key or Escape.
