"Everything a shooter should be, and more..."

pumpkinpatch March 26, 2010 / Version: Asteroid Storm 1.2.1

2010-03-26 11:12:41 | By pumpkinpatch

Pros

Runs flawlessly even on my Intel Mac and Snow Leopard. Plenty of power ups. Incrementally challenging. Easy to learn. Simple interface to customize controls.

Cons

Getting one life means starting from scratch a lot! There is no in game save which is frustrating.

Summary

It's scary how easy it is to lose track of time when playing this game. This is a timeless classic bc of its elegance and simplicity. This is one of the first things I install on each new Mac. For the price you cannot go wrong. :)

Cons

once again, this list should be scrubbed from time to time to remove the 'relics' from downloadability. This app won't run under OS X on an Intel Mac.

"Not worth the price (it's free)"

September 25, 2002 / Version: Asteroid Storm 1.2.1

Summary

Don't try to reset the keyboard controls. I did, now the asteroids destroy the ship the instant the game starts.
Don't waste your time on this download

"Why bother?"

Summary

When you have a superior, smoother game already on the market (Maelstrom), why bother making an inferior, boring product?

What's new in version 1.2.1
There is now an OS X version of Asteroid Storm included. Asteroid Storm will now remember preferences and high scores after quitting using command-Q. The sound level will no longer be set to maximum when AS starts up the first time, but will remain the same. When the invincibility is about to run out an alarm will sound to warn the player.
