Minestorm is a remake of the early 80's Vectrex game Mine Storm with gameplay similar to Asteroids.

In Minestorm, the player moves around the screen shooting at star-shaped Mines of various sizes, each screen has many dots, which can potentially turn into Mines; once a mine is shot, two dots on the screen will turn into medium-sized mines, which will then turn into two small mines when shot. When all dots have been turned into mines, the minelayer will come out, laying additional mines in its wake until the player destroys it.

Making contact with any mine, fireball, or minelayer will destroy the player's ship and the game will end once there are no more reserve ships left (note: on some later versions, colliding with any piece of space dust or alien forces will also destroy the player's ship as well. Extra ships are earned after every four levels are cleared. The escape function acts as hyperspace, which moves the player's ship to a random area on the screen in case of emergency.
