About Parsec
WEAPONS
BlasterYour starting weapon is the Blaster, it has a fairly lackluster firerate but can destroy any asteroid in four shots or less.
MinigunThe Minigun is exactly what the name implies, a Many-Gun! It has a very fast firerate and only slightly less damage than the blaster, making it a much more effective weapon.
SniperThe Sniper Laser has extremely high damage allowing it to destroy any asteroid in a single shot. It can even penetrate multiple with a single shot, but beware of its very low firerate.
HAZARDS
Small AsteroidTypically breaking off of a passing comet, small asteroids may not look like much but they can pick up incredible speed and quickly destroy any spaceship in their path and push other asteroids very far. They deal 25 damage if stationary but are likely to do vastly more at speed.
Medium AsteroidFloating peacefully through space at a leisurely pace, medium asteroids are far less volatile than small ones. They deal 50 damage, while being more than small asteroids they are far less likely to slam into you at a high speed.
Large AsteroidSitting almost stationary, large asteroids are extremely dangerous if you bump into them but incredibly easy to hit and hard not to avoid. They deal 75 damage.
DebrisWhen hit asteroids can break into multiple smaller pieces. While the clutter may be annoying they are largely harmless. They deal 25 damage.
HealthYou have 150 health, each 50 is represented by a full blue square in the bottom left of the GUI. Each size of asteroid deals varying levels of damage and you can replenish 50 with a health pickup, represented by a grey square with "+50" on it.Score MultiplierThe score multiplier is a special pickup that doubles the points you receive from any asteroids you destroy while it is active. It is represented by a grey square with "2x" on it and you know it's active when "2x" is over your score. Your high score saves between games, see how high you can get!

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
"Parsec" is an unabashed, lazy ripoff of Asteroids (Copyright Atari, 1980). Many lazy "amateur" developers don't pay attention to their obligations under copyright law, and often steal the ideas of actual, real game developers without credit, such as the "developer" here has done. Putting aside the unethical intellectual, creative and moral bankruptcy of stealing someone else's game concept, this is also breaking that unwritten law of stealing other people's game ideas... you should at least try to do better than the game you're ripping off. "Parsec" is considerably worse than Asteroids. So this looks like an old 1990's Adobe Flash game that you might play in a web browser, and the problem there is obviously Steam wasn't intended to try compete with Chrome and Firefox. If it can be done in a web browser, it's not even close to a cutting edge PC gaming experience. That's a problem. The game is really simple and unambitious in terms of implementation, more of a tech demo or one of those cases where an amateur developer spends $100 to publish something on Steam Direct to see if it's possible. Yes, obviously it's possible. A proof of concept, tech demo, or something that's les…4 found this helpful

7537800, It an okay game. It's like astroids but you can just sit a corner and heal by grabing the health items that drop in front of you. It's okay if you have nothing better to do.
