Blast asteroids, one word at a time

Asteroids drift toward your ship, each carrying a word. Start typing a word to lock on, finish it to fire, and watch the rock explode. Chain clean hits to build a combo multiplier, and watch out for boss waves, where a giant asteroid carries a full sentence.

Because a single wrong key breaks your lock, Asteroid Blaster rewards accuracy as much as speed. It's a fun way to train the habit of looking at the screen instead of your hands. Easy mode uses short, common words; Hard brings longer words and faster rocks. You have three shields, so one missed rock won't end your run.
