Astrocore is a minimalist arcade-style action game combining elements of Breakout, Asteroids, and cellular automata like Conway's Game of Life

The goal of the game is to defeat the "asteroids" by reflecting their shots back at them and breaking their cores.

Collect health and fuel drops by breaking asteroid cells to survive. Collect as many cores as you can!

If you die you can use the strafe right and left keys to cycle which asteroid you're watching, or press Space or B to respawn and start a new run!
