Fun for about 5 minutes but screeches to a halt when ships start to teleport. Only takes a few minutes to be able to get to wave 12 and then there's no progress after that.

unlike regular asteroids where you can keep track of your ship bc you only have to follow one object around the screen and you control it it seems like the hardest part of this game is finding the ships. esp. when they star to be multiple shapes. it would lightly break the vibe but making the ships a different color would help a lot.

Neat game! I managed to get to level 11 but got beat up.

There can be a set of really cool things one can do with Asteroids. Some years ago I made a game which is a mix of Asteroids+Bomberman+Pacman.

Oh this is a fun game! Just keep moving the asteroids non-stop, that way you can catch them when they spawn

Great Game! I think we'd all have an easier time with color added, which is why this game is challenging in a good way. Side-note: I beat 9th place globally! Let's go.

Nice. This makes me want to play a number of games as the bad guy.

Its a fun game! The only thing I would add is the ability to see the players cry and lose their quarters after you smash their ship.

Fun twist on the game!

I didn't play for too long, but I just clicked between the ship and asteroids and near-instantly destroyed it, quickly passing the waves I played.

Is there difficulty ramp later on?

Here's another great interpretation of "reverse Asteroids" from the JS13K comp in 2015: https://js13kgames.com/games/behind-asteroids-the-dark-side (Hi greweb!)

I did a "Asteroid as an FPS" a couple months ago, play it here: https://linsomniac.github.io/roidbelt/
