I’ve had this game for years

It’s amazing honestly . Admire simplicity. The one who admire is complicity is a dummy but one who admires simplicity is a genius.

Love it, make more!

A new classic! Deep gameplay thru the novel tractor beam mechanic. High replay value. Simple to learn. Difficult to master. Many play modes. Loving this. Thank you!

My favorite game in the App Store. A modern classic

This game is very underrated. I’m so happy it’s still available after 9 years. It’s also apparently been updated with new features like a timed mode.

I’ve had many apps and games on my phone, but this one has been a staple. Solid gameplay, retro graphics. It’s a modern classic. I wish more games were like this one. I’m a sucker for vector graphics look and feel.

It’s more fun than actually playing an Asteroids clone on the iPhone because of the control scheme.

I just wish there were more modes... the new timed mode is a step in the right direction. Maybe some day the developer could include a weapons mode or a rival mode where there’s an enemy spacecraft? Maybe a hyperspace button that can be used once or twice to save you from collision? Or a shield? Or alternative ships, like ones that look like the old cinematronics space war ships? It’s encouraging that after 9 years the developer is still updating this.

This game should not be abandoned. I hope to see continued support for it and who knows.. maybe now after 9 years a Tractor Beam 2 is in order.

If you like retro games, play this game!

Interesting Gameplay

I'm a real fan of this. Once you get to grips with the controls you can find yourself soaring through the asteroid field with ease.
Excellent that it's been updated for 64bit use too!

Interesting and unique Mechanics

It's a great game, unique mechanics makes every play different. It gets addicting to try to beat your high score. Cool retro graphics call back the days of Asteroid and the Atari. Big props to the game designers, the game runs flawlessly. It's endlessly entertaining

Sucked in

This is the best asteroids game since centipede!

Great game

The most fun casual game I've seen on the iPhone. The old asteroids flavor with a new gameplay twist: instead of shooting asteroids, you pull them toward you and try not to destroy yourself.

Even better after the update!

Simply exquisite, like an aged wine or a fine Cuban cigar.

Cool game, but it won't run

It was fine for like four plays, but now it won't even get past the loading screen. But it's a cool game when it works! Very simple, yet very entertaining. You're, like, slingshotting your way through space. It's great. Please fix it.

Trouble

This game is fun! However this version on my iPad was full of bugs. It crashed, locked wouldn't reload and slowed the function and usability of other apps on the iPad. The app support button goes to an error message. When this game functioned properly it is awesome.
Great game, buggy version, no support availability.

Can't even play

I like the game, but now I can't even play it on my iPad. With the update that requires iOS 6 it made this game a waste of money for me
