Astrobreak

Astrobreak - some enhanced Asteroids clone, coded for the Underware Design retro competition 2006!
It made the third place - out of four entries :LOL:

Some screenshots and info

Astrobreak is a simple Asteroids clone.
But it adds something new to the game - powerups and powerdowns.
Okay, powerups are not new but powerdowns are.
Aliens will shoot at you - with their first shot they will try to hit you with their powerdown weapon. If they hit a random powerdown will affect you for 15(!) seconds. This can be a very long time.
As soon as you are "powerdowned" aliens will shoot at you with their vaporizers - you were warned!
