Meteoroids 3D vs Star Fortress Usage & Stats
"Meteoroids 3D" is a first-person game aboard a spaceship pad compatible with iOS 13, which can also be played in a third person view, and which takes us through a series of levels destroying ever-increasing amounts of meteors and enemies with different weapons. All this in a 3D environment in different scenarios. It's a tribute to "Asteroids", such fond memories for many of us.
Where did the idea come from?
The history of video games is full of exciting titles, which made us have great and wonderful moments. One of those games was "Asteroids", a game where the physics of a ship allowed us to move through the void of space, while we destroyed a series of asteroids, which were getting smaller and smaller. From time to time a UFO would appear, which would give us some extra points. Many of us left a lot of coins in that game.
We wanted to pay tribute to that incredible game by means of a three dimensional game with the same idea, but with the current technology. New enemies, new scenarios with twenty-four levels(*), plus an infinite level. Plus a full configuration screen to customize the game, including the physics of the ship itself, to make it more arcade or realistic. Each level can be played between three and fifteen minutes(*).
The game also has different weapons, which are activated as the levels are passed. And another detail: each time a meteor is destroyed, a countdown begins, where the player must try to destroy as many meteors as possible. The cannons heat up, so be careful because they have to cool down to fire again. You get energy by destroying meteors, be careful to stay at zero. The shield will protect the ship and increase when destroying meteors.
Important: the game can be played with Xbox and PS4 controllers, if they are connected by Bluetooth. We recommend playing this way. In this case, the game's virtual controls disappear from the screen.
Finally, the game stores the data of each game, and has a map of surpassed levels for each scenario.
Finally, the game also allows you to store data in Gamecenter, the integrated record system, which will allow you to see the records in front of other friends. Ready to be the biggest meteor destroyer in history?
Meteoroids 3D is a simple and addictive fun game that aims to make the player have a fun time. Ready to destroy rocks?

Star Fortress is a colorful, faster paced homage to a 1980's classic that pits you against the Star Lord and his Star Fortress. The objective is to destroy the Star Lord that sits in the center of three spinning rings before he becomes fully mobile and gives chase.
You will need to blast away at the rings surrounding the Star Lord in order to create the opening needed to destroy him. During all this the Star Lord will constantly track you, and firing as soon as there is an opening available to it. If you manage to destroy the Star Lord, you will earn 5000 points plus a bonus for the number of ring segments remaining on the screen and time elapsed.
There are three sparks that will harass you throughout the level and will destroy you on contact. You can destroy the sparks with your own bullets but the sparks are not worth any points.
As stated before, you must destroy the Star Lord before he becomes mobile. An audible and visual alert is triggered about 10 seconds before the Star Lord becomes mobile. Once mobile, your bullets will no longer destroy it nor the fortress rings and your only choice is to escape. If you are destroyed while trying to escape, the level ends and you move on to the next level.
To control the game, position your thumbs over the controller overlay at the bottom of the screen. You can rotate your ship left and right with the left thumb. You control your thrusters and fire control with your right thumb. If you happen to run into the Star Fortress, your ship will bounce harmlessly (unless there's a spark attached to that particular ring segment). While your ship is fading in, you are free to move and are invulnerable for a few seconds.
Before the start of each game, you're free to select the level of your choosing. Veteran players need not be forced to start from the first level. Star Fortress has unlimited levels much like the original that inspired it. Unlike the original, the Star Lord has a few extra tricks up his sleeve as you advance through the levels.
Score Table:
Wall Segment - 33 points
Star Lord - 5000 points + time and ring segment bonus
Escape - 5000 points (no time nor ring segment bonus)
Extra Ships at 5000, 15000, 25000, 50000, and every 50000 thereafter
Tips:
-Stay moving. Remaining stationary can quickly become deadly once there's an opening in the fortress. It will also keep you ahead of the sparks
-Shoot the Star Lord quickly for better time bonuses. These bonuses can make the difference on earning that next extra ship
-Shooting out all the segments for a ring will cause a new ring to be regenerated from the center
