Astrorix is a traditional bat & ball game. The bat is moved using the mouse. The bouncing ball must be kept inside the playfield, so it can destroy the blocks. The random items which appear on the screen can have a very useful effect, or be quite a pain in the neck, too. The number of lives can be adjusted at the beginning. The game includes 15 stages with some additional surprises, a password feature and a highscore table.
