How it works

A ring of 8 rocks slowly circles the middle of the board, between your rocket and the bricks.

Effect on your game: A ball that hits a rock is smashed in two and both halves tumble down, lost for the shot. Balls, bombs, lasers and rockets can't harm the rocks, so aim through the gaps.

In detail: how each part reacts

8 rocks on an oval ring between your launcher and the bricks, turning slowly (about 20 s a lap).
A ball that touches a rock is smashed and lost for the shot, and it costs points ("Smashed by asteroids").
Nothing can damage the rocks: no ball, bomb, laser or rocket. Aim through the gaps.
Fewer rocks (Tame): 6. More rocks (Challenge): 11. Open gap (Tame): two neighbouring rocks are missing. Pebbles (Tame): 35% smaller rocks.
Soft rocks (Twist): balls bounce off the rocks instead of breaking.

Tip

Nothing can break the rocks. Aim through the gaps in the ring, and shoot when a gap lines up with your target.

In real space

The asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter holds millions of rocky bodies left over from the birth of the Solar System. Read about it on Wikipedia ↗
