Asteroids on Steroids is a retro-style game based on the legendary game Asteroids.

Everything, including the asteroids and the bullets, behaves as if it were on a flat torus. On top of that, the bullets can hurt the ship itself, so be careful not to spam them - it could be fatal! 

The game is made solely to practice programming and game-making in general, I won't pretend any signs of originality here.

The soundtrack to this game, Discovery Volume 2 (not yet impemented to the game), will be available for purchase as a usable game asset on itch.io.
