Meteoroids 3D is a simple action game set in space, which wants to pay tribute to a great game of the eighties: Asteroids. Meteoroids 3D does not pretend to be better, or try to emulate the greatness of Asteroids. We just want to bring a funny and addictive game to the players.
## About This Game
Asteroids: when the simplest is the most addictive.
Eighties of the twentieth century. The golden age of 8-bit video games. We
were leaving school, and we were going to spend our precious coins in the
arcade machines.
One of the machines that personally caught my attention was Atari’s Asteroids.
How could something so simple be so addictive? How could they simulate the
physics of that little white triangle on a black background in such a way?
Asteroids was as simple as it gets. A simple black background, a white
triangle, and figures representing asteroids, which were destroyed as we shot
white dots from our triangle, which was our ship. Imagination did the rest.
And the inertia effects were really amazing for the time.
A tribute to Asteroids: Meteoroids 3D.
Meteoroids 3D doesn’t pretend anything except two things: to be a tribute to
Asteroids, and to allow the player to go back to destroying space rocks in an
absurd and crazy way. To do this we have created a modern game, with weapons
and scenarios in three dimensions, but with the simplicity of the game of the
time.
Meteoroids 3D doesn’t want to be better than Asteroids; that’s impossible.
What we want is to make a tribute. And that’s all we want.
We have added some aspects, besides the famous UFO: a demon, and some enemy
ships that launch rockets to destroy us. Main features are:
Features.
Note: we highly recommend using a pad (Xbox, Playstation or compatible)
because you’ll have more control flying the starship.
1.- 24 levels, that follow the greek alphabet. Why the greek alphabet? It’s
cool.
2.- Seven weapons. You get new weapons while you get new levels. But you can
activate all the weapons from the very first time if you wish.
3.- Energy weapons are far more effective, but consume a lot of energy. Be
careful.
4.- Missiles. They follow the priority targets. If there are only meteors,
they destroy the nearest. If there are enemies, they follow the most
dangerous.
5.- Enemies. Asteroids had the UFO. Here you’ll also get the Demon, the Mother
Ship, and enemy fighters, that are very, very fast and dangerous.
6.- What if you don’t want enemies and just want play the old way, destroying
meteors? Deactivate enemies and that’s it.
7.- Every time you start destroying meteors there is an incremental count that
finishes after a time. Try to make your best records in the minimum time.
8.- There are two initial scenarios, more to come. But don’t worry: the main
goal is to finish meteors, not scenarios.
9.- You can see who’s the best in the Steam statistics.
10.- First view is the best! We want third view! Well, choose how you want to
play in the config menu.
11.- Fast game or a long challenge? You can modify the time for every level
from 3 minutes to 15. And you’re going to suffer if you want to survive.
12.- Leaderboards and records for various items, including the record
destroying meteors in 20 seconds.
Have an idea or something to say? This is a game to have fun. We’ll hear you.
Last, but not least, we have added a full physics option: if the player wants
can activate it, and then the ship will have the same inertia that the small
ship of the old game had, so the control will be logically more complex. Those
who do not want that degree of realism in physics can leave the simple mode
activated.
For the rest, Meteoroids 3D is a simple, addictive game, with twenty-four
levels, which wants to be a tribute to the games that gave us so many good
times in the eighties, and especially Asteroids, which undoubtedly made me
leave many, many coins inside.
We hope you enjoy Meteoroids 3D, but don’t forget to play Asteroids in some
emulator. It’s still as addictive now as it was then. Thank you very much.
