Astrorix is a traditional bat & ball game like Breakout or Arkanoid.
The bat is moved using the mouse. The bouncing ball must be kept inside the playfield, so it can destroy the blocks. As soon as all of the blocks are destroyed, the game proceeds to the next level. The random items which appear on the screen can have a very useful effect, or be quite a pain in the neck, too.
The game consists of 15 different levels. The password feature allows to jump right to one of the later stages, which of course include some additional surprises. But first the game can be made easier or harder by adjusting the number of lives. The highest scores are stored with names.
