CMYW

just as boring as astroids

I'm sorry to say I do not personally enjoy this game all too much. The controls are not to my taste and the game has slow performance even though my computer should handle it well. Which is strange because the game's graphics are quite simplistic. It's probably a bit more fun in multiplayer but not willing to find out since it will probably act even slower.

CMYW is basically just a four player local coop asteroids with a few twists. Coop tag is misleading. Thought I'd be able to play with friends online, but nope. Might be worth a few laughs at a party, but not much more.

This is a simple but surprisingly deep arcade game with couch co-op built on the foundation of Asteroids, with added recoil physics and a bunch of extra mechanics centered around base defense. There's both D-pad controls with classic Asteroids handling, and analog controls depending on your preference. The ship is somewhat weighty and takes forethought and skill to pilot well, with destruction debris and mild friendly fire being a part of the skill curve. You're trying to protect your base and survive as long as possible, gaining points and power-up drops from dodging and destroying asteroids and aliens, all while collecting and dropping off ore for extra points, and coordinating with and rescuing other players when in local multiplayer. There's a couple clunky mechanics, like the camera that zooms in way too much when you're near the base, and the mini map visibility being too low (I still struggle to see the blue asteroids a bit even on a big screen), but the main gameplay loop is really good. You'll be frantically clearing asteroids with all sorts of different characteristics before they snowball into a major problem, while countering alien ships and rail guns, meanwhile gat…

The competitive VS mode is where it's at

Pretty goood
