Navigate the asteroid field, collect all valuables and survive as long as possible.
Play on Acorn Electron, BBC Micro or emulator. Use arrow keys to move left and right.

(This is my first game for the ASCII BASIC 10Liner competition 2021)

Really good mechanic. Enjoyed it.

Thanks again =)

Very nice and innovative. Good to hear sounds too.

Thanks Greg, very kind of you!

Excellent redux of the *FX135 call via USR. I don't pretend to understand how it works fully - it's the USR-12 that has me stumped - but once I do, I'll put it on my growing pile of "great techniques" that I would one day love to share with the world!

Excellent game, too. Ingenious.

Thank you! 

-12 = &FFF4 = OSBYTE, get it? 😁
