Woah sorry it took me so long to get this out, just have a lot of things going on in life. But I am glad to get out the first post of the year. By the way happy new year everyone and I hope your new year’s resolutions work out :P Back on topic! This month’s AGM (Arcade Game of the Month) is “Asteroids”. Another classic game that has been around forever but still a fun game to play. Here is a little info on the game before I go into my detailed lecture XD

Game play: Another basic game “Z” to shoot “Arrow Keys” to move. The objective is to..well..shoot the asteroids :P After a while it can get a little repetitive and honestly it’s not really my game but somehow people seem to get ridiculously high scores. How high you ask? Up in the 400 to 500 thousands. I have no idea how they do that seeing as though I can only make it to about 10 thousand. The game play is fun and addicting but after awhile become boring. But the point of making the "Arcade Game of the Month" is to present games that people might not try or be interested in and spark an interest in people for the games inside of the game. After you shoot a regular asteroid it breaks apart into medium size asteroids, after you shoot it again it breaks up into a bunch of smaller asteroids. Eventually they will break and be gone for the rest of the round. After you have destroyed all the asteroids it will start a new round with more asteroids and ships.

Extra: The basic tactic I know is to shoot them all before they crash into you. The only thing that really becomes a challenge is when the alien asteroid ship guys come out and shoot at you. It can get really aggravating but they had to make up for the lack of challenge. By killing these other asteroid ships you get a lot of extra points thus increasing your score dramatically. The higher the lever you make it to the more often the ships apear and try to blow you up. So along with great victory also comes great challenge. I myself just fly around and spray a constant barrage of fire in random circles and see how long I survive XD

Why play it? Like Blox this is a great way to make some extra tokens, that is if you can beat the regular top three scores around 400 to 500 thousand. Besides making some extra mula it's a great way to burn some time and let off some stress. It might not be every ones game but you will never know if you like it if you don’t try it.

So go out and try a new game. You might find one you really like and become a pro at it. You never know till you try. Untill next month,
