NSP: Assteroids

Somewhere deep in the slow, eternal depths of the heavens drifts a planet called simply "Earth."
And among the otherwise unremarkable population of this planet are two incredible heroes, destined to save the future from itself..

Yep, it's a clone of Asteroids, and it's a fan-game inspired by the band Ninja Sex Party, so if that's not your deal then no hard feelings if you walk away now.

This is very much a work in progress which I plan to expand on. I've been making it in order to actually learn how to make games. With that in mind, if you find any bugs please let me know.

Controls:

• Up/W - Accelerate

• Left&Right/A&D - Turn

• Down/S - Slow down

• Space - Shoot

• Esc - Pause

(A random powerup/boost spawns every 1000 points)

Features added in version 0.1.8

• Some nice colour transitions going on in the background.

• A second powerup.

• Reset all default high scores to zero. (You'll have to delete %LOCALAPPDATA%/Assteroids/dicks.ass for this to take effect.)

• Some changes made to the Game Over screen.

Features added in version 0.1.7

• Audio effects added to menus.

• Explosion effects added to the main game.

• A few bug fixes.

Features added in version 0.1.6

• Options now carry over between sessions so you don't have to go back into the options menu every time you restart.

• Local high scores.

• A few graphical tweaks.

• Option to mute what little audio there is.

Features added in version 0.1.5

• Background. Just background.

Features added in version 0.1.4

• Options button now leads to actual options.

• Difficulty options.

• Fullscreen toggle.

Known Issues:

• If you pause the game, then hold the accelerate key before unpausing, it won't register that you're accelerating until you let go and re-press it. This was the closest I could get to a fix where if you were to pause while accelerating, the ship would continue accelerating after unpausing, without you holding the button. The way it is now is still annoying, but it's the lesser of two evils I think.
