Really fun, polished, and true to the original

This game reminds me of the original arcade version of Asteroids. It’s got a clean look, good pacing, and has that same easy-to-learn-but-hard-to-master level of difficulty as the original. Also, it has controller support, which is great if you have a Backbone or any other game controller for your phone.

Fun take on an old classic

The game is very fun, a great take from classic asteroid.

The on screen controls are a good size, and quite responsive. The power ups are fun and add another level to the game play. I do not have much experience with the motion controls, but they did seem responsive when I used them.

Looking forward to see what’s next!
