If only they'd known when they built the deep space colony, just how dangerous it could be! What with the asteroids constantly raining down, and then the alien invasion forces...
Introduction Save The Colony! You're our only hope!
You've been provided with a virtual handheld tactical control unit, which will show you a projection of all the targets - and you have to select (by tapping with your stylus) where to direct the gunfire to!
You can blast single shots, or lay down a whole salvo of fire by a tap-and-drag! Beware, though... the guns take time to recharge, so remember to keep some energy in reserve!
Astro Defence Features:
Use an extractor program such as WinZip on the PC or Stuffit Expander (on the Mac) to get at the Astro Defence files.
Install the game by double-clicking the .prc file, which opens the Palm Install Tool program Use the HotSync button as usual to install the game onto your handheld. If you have a handheld with an expansion card, you can then move the game over to it. Do this before you register the game! Now run Astro Defence and tap the screen to play the game!

There's just a few things that might help you to survive that little while longer...
As a special bonus feature...
Whenever possible, you should purchase your software from the portal where
you initially found and downloaded it! This means that the portal can take a
commission on the sale which they use to keep running and keep providing the
listing and download service. Without your support these portals can not
continue to operate!
They will pass the details straight back to Astraware to fulfil your order
just as quickly as if you'd ordered directly from Astraware's own web shop.
In Demo form, you can play 10 games of Astro Defence for free, as you decide whether you like it or not. After these games are up, the program will display a short message reminding you to register each time you play! If you beam a demo to someone else, and they also like the game, then
they can register it either by purchasing a copy from a local store, or by
purchasing online. Registering Online:
