How it feels

A fast-paced retro arcade shooter where you pilot a spaceship in top-down view to blast asteroids and alien threats in short, intense levels.

What players say

Players call this a polished, challenging take on the classic Atari Asteroids formula. Some note the default controls are unintuitive, though Steam controller remapping fixes it, and a few find the gameplay repetitive.
