This is an asteroids clone, that has the player destroying large rocks into smaller ones, while avoiding them and enemy ships, the twist in the game is that the play area gets smaller from the sides inwards.

The author Shahid Ahmad used a pseudonym for this game Justice Rampage, and told during one of our tech talks

'I’ve also never seen a copy of Goldrush, which I named after a track by Yello and was a game  I made purely for the money. Still £1500 for a weekend, eh?'
