Meteors rain down from the top of the screen and it's your job to shoot them out of the sky. Fly your starfighter along the bottom, line up each rock, and fire — big meteors break into two smaller, faster ones, so finish the job. Let a meteor reach the bottom or slam into your ship and you lose one of three lives; the longer you last, the faster they fall. Move with the left and right arrow keys or by dragging, and hold Space or the button to fire. Your best score is saved on this device.

How to play Meteor Breaker
Quick start
- Press Start. Meteors begin falling from the top of the screen.
- Slide your ship left and right along the bottom.
- Hold Fire to send up twin beams and break the rocks.
- A meteor that reaches the bottom, or hits your ship, costs one of three lives.
How it works
Controls
- Mouse or trackpad
- Move the mouse across the play area to slide the ship, and hold the button down to fire.
- Touch
- Drag your finger across the play area to move the ship, and keep it held down to keep firing.
- Keyboard
- Left and right arrows, or A and D, move the ship. Space, the up arrow, or W fires.
Tips
- A big meteor is worth 20 points, but it breaks into two small ones worth 40 each, so clearing one properly is worth 100 in total.
- The small pieces are the dangerous part. They inherit a faster fall and scatter sideways, so shoot big rocks high up while you still have room to chase the fragments.
- Your guns have a nine-frame cooldown and fire two bolts at once. Holding the button is the same as tapping it perfectly, so just hold it.
- Meteors fall faster the longer you survive, and they spawn more often as your score climbs, so the run tightens from both directions at once.
Frequently asked questions
What are the meteors worth?
A big meteor is 20 points and a small one is 40. Because a big meteor breaks into two smalls, clearing one completely is worth 100.
Why is a small meteor worth more than a big one?
It is a harder target. The fragments fall faster than the rock they came from and drift sideways, so they are priced accordingly.
Do big meteors always split?
Yes. Shooting a big meteor always leaves two small ones behind. Only the small ones disappear when shot.
How many lives do I have?
Three. You lose one when a meteor reaches the bottom of the screen and one when a meteor hits your ship.
Should I tap fire or hold it?
Hold it. The guns have a nine-frame cooldown, so holding the button fires exactly as fast as the weapon allows.
Does the game get harder?
In two ways at once. Meteors fall faster the longer you survive, and they spawn more often as your score rises.
Can I play it on a phone?
Yes. Drag your finger across the play area to move the ship, and keep it held to keep firing.
Is my score sent anywhere?
No. It is written to your browser's local storage and stays on that device.
