Asteroids style games

I will be researching games in the style of asteroids.

Asteroids is a video arcade game released in 1979 by Atari Inc. It was one of the most popular and influential games of the Golden Age of Arcade GamesAsteroids uses a vector display and a two-dimensional view that wraps around in both screen axes. The player controls a spaceship in an asteroid field which is periodically traversed by flying saucers. The object of the game is to shoot and destroy asteroids and saucers while not colliding with either, or being hit by the saucers' counter-fire. (Wikipedia)


This game is called trippy asteroids. this game of asteroids uses fast-paced techno music and basic shapes, it also uses bright and vibrant colours in the background and in the shapes. the colours change when the player destroys all the blocks on screen and new ones appear in their place. this game isn't very challenging but it is very fast paced.


The game here is called space rocks. it is a very stylized version of asteroids with some more features such as health, shields, money and upgrades. unlike the original game it uses a bomb feature which destroys all the meteors on screen.
