About the course

In this project, you'll create a fun and fast-paced arcade-style game in Scratch where you must pilot a rocket ship through an asteroid field without colliding with passing stars.  Your laser has only limited power, so you'll have to recharge it frequently!

You'll also learn how little extras like an animated title screen, sound effects and background music, and a restart option when the game ends can make your games feel more polished and professional.

So blast off and join us in outer space to create Space Blast!
