The blue bar in the center of your ship shows your ammo/energy. Every time one of your shots hits something, you instantly get the ammo back from that shot, but if you miss you have to wait for it to regenerate slowly over time. Accuracy is key to survival. A new wave of asteroids will spawn when you kill the last asteroid on the screen. If you take too long to clear a wave, enemy ships will appear to hunt you down with deadly, seeking missile-blobs. The higher the wave, the sooner they come. Play hard mode for the ultimate dogfighting challenge.
Tips:
Your bullets will give a small push to the asteroids when they hit, so if you only shoot asteroids that are moving towards you, you can keep them moving slowly. Don't shoot them when they're moving away from you or they'll get moving very fast and probably kill you.
Watch out for the small blobby guys with antennae, they're not quite as innocent as they look, and they may accelerate very quickly to avoid asteroids. You can push them away pretty easily with your shots.
The sooner your shots hit something, the sooner you get your ammo back, and the faster you can fire. Get up close and personal for maximum damage output.
