Gun Grip Preference Now Available

Do you prefer to hold your Vive controller wands in the 'phaser' style used in your Steam menus?



Or would rather grip your controllers upright, like the guns in popular shooting games like 'Onward'?



Either way, Asteroid Blaster VR has you covered.

You can now set your controller grip preference right from your main menu. Just toggle to the Vive controller grip you prefer and start blasting!



Have a suggestion you would like to see in-game? We would love to hear about it on the forums!

Reviews are also greatly appreciated. Please do take a moment to post a Steam review to let other players know how much you've enjoyed playing Asteroid Blaster VR.

Radar On/Off Option

Hot on the heels of the latest Asteroid Blaster VR release, an option has been added to allow a player to toggle their radar display on and off as needed.

On later levels, when facing hundreds of asteroids and numerous UFOs, the radar becomes a little busy with traffic and you may find it helpful to hide that information while blasting your way through those clouds of rocks. Clicking your right-hand Vive controller disc will handle that for you, with the left disc remaining available for your emergency hyperspace needs.

Some players have also reported an occasional issue with gun position being set incorrectly over their Vive controllers (guns pointing downward, upside-down or other strangeness). That has been a super-difficult bug to track down (it's one for the coveted "works on my machine" seal of approval), but a fix has been put in place which should permanently resolve that hiccup.

A special thanks goes out to everyone who reported that gun mis-alignment issue to us. We cannot fix bugs we're not made aware of, and the few moments spent letting us know about difficulties you encounter is greatly appreciated!

Have a suggestion? Found a bug? We'd love to hear from you! Please do take a moment to post your thoughts on the Asteroid Blaster VR forum.

About This Game

Please Note: This game requires an HTC Vive Virtual Reality headset to play.

Grab your laser guns and strap on your jet pack. Asteroid Blaster VR lets you jump into virtual reality space and start blowing up rocks and UFOs.

Blast giant asteroids into rubble and power-up your weapons and energy with collectible bonuses as you battle flying saucers in the clouds of rocky debris. Boost your score and firepower with every gem and gadget you catch, but keep an eye on your radar scope while watching your thruster, shield and laser energy!

Bringing back the casual feel of a video arcade classic, a game of Asteroid Blaster VR can deliver a quick "shoot 'em up" break or a marathon competition to beat the latest high score.

Friendly for lefties, you can set your rocket thrust, laser pointer and status screen on the controller arms you prefer, and an in-game tutorial and help text hints will give everything you need to start blasting your way through over a dozen different scenes.

Fly around, shoot stuff and have fun with Asteroid Blaster VR!


Arcade Mode:

In addition to progressing through different asteroid waves and scenes, Asteroid Blaster VR can also be started in 'Arcade Mode'.

Arcade Mode sets the player in a slow-paced game environment which grows progressively more difficult as time passes. If you want to let your friends jump right in to virtual reality and start blasting without going through a tutorial first, Arcade Mode is for you!

Two paths are available for starting your Asteroid Blaster VR game in Arcade Mode:

Open your Start On Wave screen and select wave "00 - Arcade Mode".

OR

Open your Options screen and toggle the Start in Arcade Mode option on. That will set your main menu Start button to launch your game in Arcade Mode (rather than on Wave 1).


Free Demo Available

Want to give Asteroid Blaster VR a try? You can play through our free demo!

Just click the "Download Demo" button to install on your Vive and start blasting your way through space. The demo game gives you a sample of an earlier game wave and the asteroids and UFOs you'll meet in the full game.

For an example of Arcade Mode and later game waves, check out the gameplay video linked above.
