Three new maps and three new modifiers headline this update.

Here's the full change log:

- Added Dance level: four square barriers move in sync around the center.

- Added a Super Dash modifier.
- Can now cancel a Jouster boost (or the new Super Dash) by pressing the Powerup button
- Starting powerup modifier now shows which powerup is selected before battle. Useful for the "Random" starting powerup option.
- Fixed rare pilot "self-kill" bug
- Fixed Dash not working while turning with Keyboard controls
- Renamed game mode "Headhunters" to be "Ship Hunters"
- Renamed game mode "Pilot Execution" to be "Pilot Hunters"

A surprisingly solid multiplayer game. The video shows the general sort of game play but it's a lot tighter, frantic and entertaining than I thought it would be. Definitely worth the price of admission.

Simple and therefore easy to get into. I played it on portable devices tens of hours and that alone has been a blast! And that was free of charge! This is 5 euros with more levels, more powerups better controls so there was little to no consideration when I bought it. Only con is no online multiplayer but its not the way this is meant to be enjoyed:)

Nice game. I think the maps would be better if they're a bit bigger [some of them] so the levels can be more laid of fun. & please, it's not like KML is the only perfect guy whose music fits good. We can all tell you opinions about it. & the multiplayer's main game yeah it is very good. Fun. & having not a lot of achievements ain't a problem really. Just hope that those who buy this actually enjoy it along. 9/10

This game is really fun, even without having friends to play it with! Pilot Execution is a very fun, competitive game mode that I'm addicted to right now. Well worth the price!

Few words about the game
Astro Duel is something that everyone among gaming community loves to see - new ideas created from something we know. Im literally amazed about how people can create something innovative, even basing on game like Asteroids. Game itself is awesome. I had to try it out against bots first and it was quite fun. Then I played it against my gf and she said that it was one of her best times we had together. Well then... ANYWAY, lets get to reviewing.

Advantages
  • Game offers you bunch of different arenas to play on, 3 match types and possibility to set your own few rules, so there is no way for you to get bored quickly
  • Nice, classic sounds. Brings back some good memories from childchood
  • Game was created to play with friends. And it worked out perfectly
  • Controls and steering is easy and nicely overlayed

Summary
As I couldn't think of any disadvantages I'll simply move right to summary. Well, game crashed on me 3 times in about 2.5h gameplay, but for unknown reasons, so I skipped that. Game provides with hours of engaging fun, even if you're playing alone, it still can be great against bots. Hope it will get some updates to expand its possibilities as there is alot of room to create new content. I also hope that one day I'll get to try it with 3 other people, it must be a crazy mess! So hesitate no more, just buy it, have fun and don't rage quit too quickly!

Personal score
9.5 / 10

If you and your friends Like Towerfall, you will love this game! Astro duel strikes a perfect balance between simplicity and depth. The added feature of controlling the pilot after your ship is destroyed gives you a great, frantic, last chance and creates some amazing comebacks. AI is challenging, but playing with friends is the best!

Game does not look like much, but is well thought out. It's a local multiplayer game, but you can also play against easy or hard bots.

Fantastic game with local multiplayer focus, and some solid single player options for if you have no friends. The controls are tight on both keyboard and on game pad (I've only used wired connections for xbox one controllers for gamepad support initially, and it works great). Multiplayer is a complete blast, and is a good way to ruin friendships in a more skill based game than mario party 5000. It runs really well on the surface pro 3, so you can also take it to a (soon to be former) friend's house and humiliate them with your amazing piloting skills. In all seriousness though, it controls super tightly, and causes players to make decisions about ammo conservation, whether or not to rush to a powerup or try to snipe somebody trying to grab one. The game performs great on my surface, and works very well with my minidisplay to hdmi adaptor on my tv. If you have a liking of local vs games like street fighter or tower fall, and enjoy asteroids, or one of those two options separately, this is the game for you.

Astro Duel is a game that sneaks up on ya. It looks like Asteroids and Samurai Gun had a baby... but it turns out that the baby is actually like a Baby Rambo with twin uzis and insane kung fu skills and also a tail! That's how awesome this game is. I'm so stoked it's finally on Steam, cause now I can play it on my big screen and punk all my bois and baes with my insane astro dueling skills. If you're hard up for a game that will make you laugh, cry, scream, and probably get a whole pizza dumped on your head, then this is the game for you.

I played this at an event in Austin, and it was a blast. It's a great party game. Can't wait to play this the next time I have friends over. While it supports keyboard controls, I recommend using gamepads and turning on Pilot Execution mode.

Astro Duel is the most fun you'll have shooting your lame friends in space. Except they're not lame because you'll be playing Astro Duel and yelling obsenities at each other. Unless you're a child then you'll probably be pooping yourself because you've never experienced a video game this good before. Move over Call of Duty. IT'S TIME TO DUEL.....TO ASTRO DUEL....IN SPACE.....WITH LASERS.....AND STUFF.

Tip: Pilot Execution mode is dope.

Astro Duel is a great party game.

If you grew up loving local multiplayer games like Bomberman, Mario Kart, and Smash Bros this is a game you'll definitely want to show off next time you have friends over.
