Thomas and Markus

Two guys from the 80s — raised between the football pitch, the pop charts and teletext. Today we sit at the mic instead of in front of the tube TV and talk about everything that shaped our generation: music, movies, tech and the stories in between.

Cassette in. Press play —

New in the game Game update October 2026

  • Comet: Every two or three levels a comet tears across the screen and crushes everything in its path — the points are yours. First comes a rumble and a red flicker at the edge: get out of its lane or it costs you a life, shield or not. Along the way it scatters double and triple shots.
  • Rocket launcher: Every other comet drops an orange R. Grab it and the launcher docks onto your ship: three rockets, one every two seconds, all by themselves. They seek a target and pulverise everything around the point of impact.
  • Golden quad shot: The other comets bring a golden 4 — twelve seconds of four bullets in a wide fan.
  • New scenery: real images from the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes — a new one every three levels, and a fresh mix every game.

New rules, new board: the leaderboard and the all-time places are back to zero. From now on the leaderboard restarts on the 1st of every month instead of every Friday. Go for it! 🕹️

Grab the joystick and blast some asteroids — right in your browser, GenX style. Now with an online high score board!
