Swashteroids offers players a retro arcade-style experience with fast-paced gameplay. Take control of the USS Swashbuckler and embark on a thrilling adventure to mine asteroids for treasures. However, the task of blasting and avoiding asteroids is fraught with danger as hostile aliens lurk in the depths of space, ready to seize your hard-earned riches.

Collect the pulsing blue orb to replenish your plasma torpedoes and the yellow orb to execute hyperspace jumps. Utilize the flip button for a swift 180° turn, hyperspace for unpredictable jumps, or rely on your trusty thrusters to navigate through the increasingly hazardous asteroid field.
