How it feels
Piloting through a chaotic asteroid field while dodging enemy fire and fending off a sudden betrayal from a teammate creates a tense, chaotic, and high-stakes space dogfight.

What players say
Players call it a faithful port of a 1990s Macintosh Asteroids-like, with the same wacky bonuses and sounds. The novelty wears off quickly, but for former fans it is pure nostalgia. Multiplayer supports up to three people via local or Steam Remote Play.
