Meteor is a game of skill and timing. Players navigate a small, fast-moving spacecraft through a field of descending meteors. The object is to avoid collisions while maneuvering the ship to collect energizing power-ups scattered throughout the playing field.
The core mechanic revolves around the ship's control, which responds intuitively to keyboard input, allowing players to adjust speed and direction quickly. The player must anticipate and react to incoming meteors, using the ship's boost function to gain speed and alter its trajectory.
The game continues until the player's ship collides with an enemy meteor, at which point the game restarts. Players must rapidly develop their reflexes and spatial reasoning skills to succeed. Meteor runs directly in the browser with no download or registration required.
