From the makers of The Invaders and Alsteroids comes this new retro arcade classic... Alsteroids 2 | MARAUDER FEATURES: + Glorious Retro Vector Graphics + 7 Power-ups + Boss Fights + 80's Moroder Inspired Soundtrack + Gamepad Support + Ion iCade Support + Fluid Arcade Action + No In-game Ads + Local and Global High Scores + It's Free! STORY On returning from testing the Hyper Jump functionality of your prototype fighter, you discover that your planet has been reduced to asteroids by the Marauder. With nothing left to live for, you decide to jump the 20 light years to destroy the Marauders home planet of Irata. Your space ship can only jump 1 light year at a time so you will face 20 waves of asteroid strewn space wastes and the star forces of the marauder. However, fear not, your prototype fighter has been designed to be upgraded so you can unlock and pick up power-ups. Better yet you can string multiple power-ups together for devastating fire power. HOW TO PLAY Your objective is simple - stay alive as long as possible by shooting and avoiding wave after wave of asteroids ... your reward: a high score and bragging rights on the Game Center leader boards. Your ship can be rotated through 360 degrees and can fire photon torpedoes. Large asteroids can be broken into two medium size ones, which in turn can be shot into two smaller ones. A wave is over when all asteroids have been cleared. Beware of the saucers! The large type are easy to hit and fire inaccurately, the smaller saucers are a different story... they move faster, are harder to hit and also become devastatingly accurate as the game progresses. You can use your ships thrusters to move out of the way of an incoming asteroid. Be careful of thrusting too much as there is no inertia in space and you will have to correct your trajectory to stop! If you find yourself in a no-win situation, you can hit Hyperspace - this will transport your ship to a random position on screen. Hyperspace is a dangerous option as your ship can transported into an asteroid. ## Key features - Retro vector graphics - 7 power-ups - Boss fights - 80s soundtrack - Gamepad support - High score leaderboards - No in-game ads ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Go Pro (No Ads) | $0.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 48) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/alsteroids-2-marauder/id999880610/reviews.md ### 5/5 — The greatest *2025-01-20, version 1.0.4* I f-ing love this game. It’s the only game I haven’t gotten bored with. It’s meditative. Totally perfect execution. ### 5/5 — Back to my youth *2024-12-10, version 1.0.4* So there are some differences between this an the original arcade Asteroids but they're all for the better, perfect little shootem up. ### 3/5 — This LOOKS amazing *2024-02-09, version 1.0.4* Can only give this three stars because so audio. The music and sound effect from the trailer sounds amazing but… now all I can think while I’m playing is what is wrong with this game? ### 4/5 — Difficult to control *2023-11-03, version 1.0.4* Controls hard to use the turn would either not work or go wrong way or both.same with the right side it would move me when I didn't want to. ### 2/5 — Move on. *2023-06-28, version 1.0.4* Not much to get excited about, and it is difficult to control the ship(stop ‘n go). ### 5/5 — I started to chuckle… *2023-02-05, version 1.0.4* I started to chuckle, it brought me back to yester year when this was in the arcades, & I laughed. Great translation of a great game with vector graphics, & sound effects. I went with the pro model though as the ads were annoying & intrusive as after every game it would cut in. The price was only 1.37 if I remember correctly, & as long as the creators don’t go greedy & raise it further, I would think they will get a good stream of customers buying this game with no ads. ### 5/5 — Best *2022-11-28, version 1.0.4* Fantastic game. But reached the end and destroyed the planet. Now what? :( ### 4/5 — What happened to the first one? *2022-11-24, version 1.0.4* I’m glad there’s a sequel but I miss the first ones visuals, sounds, and simplicity. I paid for the game and now it’s gone? It’s been my go to phone game for what seems like a decade. Please bring it back if possible; or add some customization for this one, hate the yellow and the music. ### 1/5 — The original *2022-10-25, version 1.0.4* I had the original Al steroids on my iPhone 11 and still got it but I can’t find it in the App Store for my iPhone 13 Pro ### 2/5 — Controls failed. *2022-03-21, version 1.0.4* Unable to stop clockwise rotation of craft. Also, no way to shut down game, only RESUME. Will uninstall it for now. ## Frequently asked questions about Alsteroids 2 | Marauder ### What is Alsteroids 2 | Marauder?
