You start with 3 lives, which you can lose by running into an asteroid or leaving the window. You can gain lives by reaching 200, 400, 800, etc. points. shooting an asteroid is worth 10 points, with up to 6 bonus points based on the time it took to shoot it. The number of asteroids will rise, and so will their speed. When you die, you start back in the middle of the screen. You will be invincible for 3 seconds, during which you can move, but not shoot.
good luck, and have fun!
