Aliens&Asteroids

Chaotic, and most importantly : fun ! Works great, lots of power-ups, worth your time and money if you like space shooters that are going insane and throw ten thousands of enemies at you at the end because you won't die :3

https://youtu.be/WxWOhpL0kGY Walking a fine line of complexity, 'Aliens&Asteroids' lands just right for a simple space shooter. A variety of enemies and power-ups keep everything just fresh enough to push players for one more go.

The game is quite challenging, the controls are awkward, and collectables behave very strangely

Pros: - It's fun. - Your ship has 3 unlimited uses active abilities. - Many powerups (most of them unlockables). Cons: - Too grindy to get gems to unlock powerups. - Difficult to aim correctly. - Only 1 ship you can use. I liked it even when I also played (and beat) Bit Blaster XL (Aliens & Asteroids has more content). I give it a 7.5/10.

Usually the $1 and under games I buy on Steam are at least somewhat disappointing. I am happy to say that this game was an exception. Not only does the game have a LOT of replayability over time due to its arcade shoot 'em up style, but it's actually well-built and fairly well-designed, especially considering how simple the pieces that make it up are. The game itself is also fairly challenging to go far in at the beginning, but if you keep playing it, the game slowly rewards you with an in-game currency that can be used to purchase more boosts/weapons that drop during your game. The nice thing is that these are not permanent upgrades to your ship, but rather drops that you must collect as you destroy the enemies. Furthermore, the achievements available for the game will take time to acquire. I've played the game for about 4 hours, and while I did get most of them, I can tell that some are still a ways away. So, long story short, I say buy the game if you like shoot 'em ups and don't mind the simple art/design (kind of like a mix of old arcade games and old online flash games). You won't regret the purchase, and you'll get a game you can revisit whenever you want to kill a little …

This game is really hard, but also good. I really recommend this for people that enjoy classic space shooters, but also looking for something different.
