ASTROSMASH®: A Retro Classic Revived

ASTROSMASH® brings back a beloved classic originally designed for the Intellivision® in 1981, now revitalized for Xbox One, Series, and PC. With its timeless gameplay, players operate a laser cannon to destroy incoming meteors, bombs, and more in a vibrant space environment. This revival not only preserves the nostalgia but enhances it through polished graphics and a thrilling soundtrack.

Engaging Gameplay with Iconic Mechanics

In ASTROSMASH®, players control a laser cannon that moves left and right across a flat plane, targeting a variety of falling objects including meteors, bombs, and the occasional UFO. The challenge ramps up as players progress through ten distinct levels, each with different objects and backgrounds. The synchronization of sounds and music, created by renowned composer Tommy Tallarico, wonderfully complements the fast-paced action.

New Features for Modern Gamers

This version introduces exciting new features without losing the essence of the original. Players can choose between single shots and automatic fire, making combat more dynamic. The inclusion of a hyperspace option adds an unpredictable twist, transporting your cannon to a random location—a risk that can lead to safety or disaster.
