Codename Astro

Planetoid Demo

We took a break from Moon Racer this week and moved forward with another one of our games. Astro is inspired by Asteroids, the great Atari arcade game but it has enough twists to made it unique.

Our working prototype is going through some fine tuning with the controls to make sure that it is truely playable.

With a little luck this might be ready for Christmas.
