About Asteroid Blaster VR
Grab your laser guns and strap on your jet pack. Asteroid Blaster VR lets you jump into virtual reality space and start blowing up rocks and UFOs.
Blast giant asteroids into rubble and power-up your weapons and energy with collectible bonuses as you battle flying saucers in the clouds of rocky debris. Boost your score and firepower with every gem and gadget you catch, but keep an eye on your radar scope while watching your thruster, shield and laser energy!
Bringing back the casual feel of a video arcade classic, a game of Asteroid Blaster VR can deliver a quick "shoot 'em up" break or a marathon competition to beat the latest high score.
Friendly for lefties, you can set your rocket thrust, laser pointer and status screen on the controller arms you prefer, and an in-game tutorial and help text hints will give everything you need to start blasting your way through over a dozen different scenes.
Fly around, shoot stuff and have fun with Asteroid Blaster VR!
Arcade Mode:
In addition to progressing through different asteroid waves and scenes, Asteroid Blaster VR can also be started in 'Arcade Mode'.
Arcade Mode sets the player in a slow-paced game environment which grows progressively more difficult as time passes. If you want to let your friends jump right in to virtual reality and start blasting without going through a tutorial first, Arcade Mode is for you!
Two paths are available for starting your Asteroid Blaster VR game in Arcade Mode:
Open your Start On Wave screen and select wave "00 - Arcade Mode".
OR
Open your Options screen and toggle the Start in Arcade Mode option on. That will set your main menu Start button to launch your game in Arcade Mode (rather than on Wave 1).
Free Demo Available

I love the idea, but it's poorly executed. The thrust buttons do nothing meaning you'll never get any powerups and your a sitting duck AND your emergency "get out of the way" button is almost instant suicide. Good idea, terrible balance. All it would need is for the thrust to actually have some noticeable effect and for the "oh ♥♥♥♥" button to not hurt quite SO much. Edit: I didn't give this enough of a chance. At first it was slightly unintuitive, but it's really not that bad. I was only thrusting backwards, to be honest I feel a bit silly now.1 found this helpful
Straight forward game play that is easy to learn, but challenging enough to keep it fun. Graphics and sounds effects are good. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoyed asteroids as a child, or anyone who enjoys shooter games.
I've had this for years and don't pull it out much, but like it as a VR demo for the uninitiated. Yikes!
So I finally got to play this game, and sadly, I cannot recommend it. Graphics: billboard sprites that face you, and if you look at them at extreme angles and turn your head, you can watch them twist. Dev, go watch the dev comments on Alyx how Valve solved that. Controls: - You accelerate or decelerate in the direction of your view. You don't sit in a cockpit, your head has no neck to look around, nothing. Your head is your ship, deal with it. Even making the hand-slash-gun you're using for thrusting be the director would be loads better than this strict look-to-steer scheme. Catching items becomes a chore as course corrections require you to look AWAY from it while trying to hit it … how dumb is that?? - On Index, acceleration and deceleration are bound (by default) to grip. Enjoy unwanted thrusting and depleting your thruster fuel because in the heat of the action you grip a little tighter. While Ac and Dec are also mapped to buttons, the default grip assignment still sours things. It can probably be unmapped, but by now I've lost interest to look. Tutorials: - That's not a tutorial, that's just a manual reading simulator. It's text floating in space the player must read and a…
The best VR/3d asteroids option i've seen so far.
It's fun, simple and highly recommended. This game doesn't try to do too much but it offers plenty of replay value. This is the perfect example of not requiring fancy game levels and tons of environments to entice the player. It's just clean old fun. Works fine on my Lenovo Explorer VR headset.
