Blast your way through the swarm and try to rack up as many points as you can in any of the three game modes! Meteor Swarm: ============= Score points by destroying the meteors & try to clear the wave before the clock runs out. Clearing out the wave with time remaining will earn you bonus points! Fail to do so, and you'll have to deal with more Meteors on the next wave! Survival: ========= Score points by trying to avoid collisions with the Meteors & holding out until the clock ticks out. Completing a level will increase your score multiplier (allowing you to earn more points), and colliding with a meteor will result in it being reset to 1x. Classic: ======== Complete each level by clearing out the meteors. Unlike the other modes, this mode doesn't have any time constraints. So take your time, learn the controls and get to grips with how the game plays in this relaxed mode. ============= Requirements: ============= - Windows XP (with SP2 or higher) / Windows Vista / Windows 7 - 3D Graphics Card with Shader Model 2 capability - .NET 3.5 & DirectX 9.0c ========= Controls: ========= Key | In-Game | Menus --------------+---------------------------------+-------------------- Left Arrow | Rotate Ship Counter-Clockwise | Adjust Current Menu Item Right Arrow | Rotate Ship Clockwise | Adjust Current Menu Item Up Arrow | Thrust in the current direction | Change Selected Menu Item Down Arrow | | Change Selected Menu Item Z | Fire Weapons | Select Current Menu Item X | Engage Hyperspace | Leave Current Menu Screen C | | Change Current High-Score Table Escape | Pause Game | Leave Current Menu Return | | Enter Selected Item If you have an Xbox 360 game pad available, you can also use that.
