Astro-Mining Corporation employee, your mission is to clear an assigned area of space from asteroids and debris. The game consists of five zones, each with a different background and some special features. Each zone has 15 levels. In addition to standard asteroids, there are also mined asteroids that explode; indestructible asteroids; fireball comets; crystal asteroids that regenerate; alien egg asteroids containing deadly baby space worms; and ancient energy asteroids that shoot back!
There are three types of ships to choose from, each with different strengths and weaknesses. You can choose from three skill levels, and if you beat the game at Expert or higher, you gain access to a fourth type of ship. Ships feature a standard laser, shield, flip (instantly flips your ship 180 degrees), and hyperspace. Limited power-ups are also available, such as GunSat, Mines, Homing Missiles, Plasma Drill, and Trigger Bombs.
The game supports either one or two players. In two-player mode, the objective is to outscore your opponent in a random zone and level. You cannot directly kill your opponent by shooting him, but there are other ways to win.
