Description
Turn your site into an interactive arcade battlefield. Click to launch and fly a retro arcade spaceship around your webpage, blasting apart elements, headings, and text.
The plugin offers full flexibility: embed it anywhere using shortcodes with customizable graphic triggers, or use the dedicated WordPress sidebar widget.
This plugin is a modernized, independent fork of the classic « Asteroids Widget » by Eric Burger and Erik Rothoff Andersson. It has been refactored for modern WordPress security standards and tested for full PHP 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3+ compatibility.
