If only they'd known when they built the deep space colony, just how dangerous it could be! What with the asteroids constantly raining down, and then the alien invasion forces...
Introduction Save The Colony! You're our only hope!
You've been provided with a virtual handheld tactical control unit, which will show you a projection of all the targets - and you have to select (by tapping with your stylus) where to direct the gunfire to!
You can blast single shots, or lay down a whole salvo of fire by a tap-and-drag! Beware, though... the guns take time to recharge, so remember to keep some energy in reserve!
Astro Defence Features:
Use an extractor program such as WinZip on the PC or Stuffit
Expander on the Mac to get at the
Astro Defence
files.
Install the game by double-clicking the prc file. Use the HotSync button as usual to install the game onto your
handheld. Now run
Astro Defence and tap the screen to play the game! If you've got any queries about
