How to play
- Large asteroids split into medium ones, and medium ones into small ones.
- Smaller is worth more: 30 points for a large, 60 for a medium and 120 for a small one.
- From wave 4, comets appear and head for your ship (250 points).
- You have 3 lives, an extra one every 10,000 points and a short shield when you respawn.
- Consecutive hits raise a multiplier (up to ×2); a missed shot resets it.
- Your ship and the asteroids wrap around: leave one edge, come back from the other.

Description
Astrobreak is an original Vexply space arcade game: you fly a ship with real inertia and break asteroids that split into smaller and smaller pieces. It’s free in your browser, and every wave comes faster and fuller.
Astrobreak is our own space arcade game: an orange ship with real momentum, asteroids that crack apart when you hit them and waves that keep getting faster, with comets heading your way in the later ones. You get 3 lives, a short shield after every hit and extra lives as you score. Your best scores, stats and 9 achievements are saved only in this browser. Play with the keyboard or the touch buttons, full screen too.
Tips
- Use little thrust: with inertia, stopping takes time and it’s easy to overshoot.
- Breaking a large asteroid leaves three problems; clear the pieces before opening another large one.
- Protect the multiplier: spraying shots breaks the streak.
- When a comet shows up, moving beats aiming: it comes straight for you.
Strategy
The safest spot is near the center, turning in place and thrusting only to dodge. From there you have time to see pieces coming from every side. Since small asteroids are worth four times as much as large ones and the multiplier rewards accuracy, the best scores come from splitting large asteroids one at a time and finishing every piece with clean shots.
