Planetoids is an early Asteroids clone for the Apple II.
The gameplay is the same as in the arcade original with the player having control of a ship that has to destroy the surrounding asteroids. The ship can be rotated and is moved by using thrust to send it forward. There is also the possibility of entering hyperspace which sends the ship to a random location on the screen. Larger asteroids break into 2 smaller pieces if shot, and they 2 smaller pieces again. These final tiny pieces can be shot and destroyed. In addition to the asteroids there are star dockings which appear that are worth bonus points if shot.
The player moves on to the next level when all asteroids in a field are destroyed. They start with 3 ships, and when all are lost it's game over.
