About this app
Take command of the USS Swashbuckler in Swashteroids, a fast-paced retro vector arcade game where every asteroid field hides danger—and treasure. Mine asteroids, collect valuable cargo, and fight off alien workers and soldiers that want the loot for themselves. Each cleared field brings a tougher level, faster hazards, and more relentless enemies. Power up your ship with: • Plasma torpedoes and long-range phasers • Shields for protection • Hyperspace for emergency escapes • Phasing to pass safely through hazards • X-Ray vision to reveal treasure-bearing asteroids Master Newtonian spaceflight using on-screen controls, tilt steering, or a compatible game controller. A guided Training mode teaches every control and mechanic. Compete across five leaderboards, earn an extra ship every 5,000 points, and record your greatest runs. Watch replays, adjust their playback speed, and share .swrep replay files with friends. Swashteroids is small, fast, and built for quick arcade sessions on iPhone and iPad. How long can the USS Swashbuckler survive?
