Spot
1. Catch the streak early
When you see a comet, treat it like a ship kill opportunity — ignore soft rocks and cut a line toward it.

See a comet? Chase it.
In CLASHROIDS the comet is the hardest target on the map and the richest rock you can break. It pays +100 points — the same as an enemy ship — and every point is also one ⬡ resource. It drops a power-up 35% of the time, against 10% for an ordinary asteroid. Spot the streak, cut across the belt, and take the shot before a rival does. Free in the browser. Steam Coming Soon (app 4296990), wishlist toward 10K+.

The comet hunt
Risk
2. Hardest target = richest rock
It pays like a ship (+100) because it is hard to break. Bring weapons that land at range, and do not ram — ramming scores nothing.
Drop
3. 35% chance at a power-up
Ordinary asteroids drop a power-up only 10% of the time. A comet drops one 35% of the time. Scoop the pickup before a rival steals it. See power-ups.

4. Turn +100 into a hex
Every point is also one ⬡. A hexagon costs ⬡100, so one comet pays for one new hex — then fly with a base behind you. See points and hex.
How to play the chase
- » Weapons score; ramming does not. Break the comet with bullets or laser, then grab any power-up that drops.
- » A ship kill also pays +100 and can give back 30% of your maximum energy when you shoot with bullets or laser — a comet is +100 you can take when no rival is in range. Mix both.
- » Fast start: clear small rocks for quick +35s, take every comet you see, then spend ⬡ on a 3-hex base before you go hunting ships.
- » Rivals will cut you off. After you break the comet, grab any power-up drop and keep flying — do not linger loaded next to the break.
- » The web build is drop-in. Steam is built to keep your pilot across sessions, so wishlist to hear when it lands.
