New: - New ice asteroids, reflect some fired projectiles - New artwork! Asteroids and background artwork greatly improved - Explosive asteroids grow as they take damage, will add an animation to show they're about to explode - Motion blur on ships when boosting Updated: - In the middle of adjusting new background artwork so it works on Retina, hi-DPI, and other various screen resolutions (will be adding a resolution switcher to Settings) - Optimizations to prevent game from locking / stuttering - Tweaked SFX volumes - Removed Chromatic Aberration image effect during gameplay as it was annoying Bugfixes: - Clicking on the game during warmup will not show the score behind each player's ship in Versus mode - Fix the sometimes-missing tense music when only 2 or 1 kills left in Versus mode

Astervoid 2000 is a local-multiplayer space brawler. Inspired by the days of classic arcade gaming, but with that modern gameplay feel.

Survive solo or team up to play a main role in your enemies destruction. Dodge asteroid storms, blast across the void of space and take advantage of destroying freighter ships to catch your foe in massive explosive bursts.

Weapons, ships, environmental hazards and backgrounds are all lovingly crafted pixel art.

Quick to learn, challenging to perfect. Knowing when to charge your shot, employ the fireball melée or discharge canons from a safe distance is half the battle.
War with your friends at parties, or when you're simply chilling on a Friday night.

* This game is best experienced with 1 - 4 dual analog stick gamepads

Controls:

Left analog stick to move
Right analog stick to aim
Right bumpers (R1 or R2) to shoot, charge missile attack
Left bumpers (L1 or L2) to boost, unleash fireball melee after charging
