Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Project AsteroidZ is a passion project built by a solo developer. The core
arcade and survival experience is complete and fully playable right now, but
there is more content planned. Early Access lets players jump in, enjoy what
is already here, and help shape what comes next. Community feedback directly
influences what gets built and in what order.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I plan to remain in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months. This
timeline may shift depending on development progress and community feedback.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of Project Asteroid Z is planned to include a complete
campaign mode featuring a boss gauntlet system, additional enemy types, new
ships to unlock, per-world music, and expanded story content. We also plan to
add Steam Leaderboards so players can compete globally, additional power-ups,
and ongoing quality-of-life improvements based on player feedback. The current
arcade and survival modes will continue to receive polish and content updates
throughout Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game currently features two fully playable modes — Arcade and Survival.
Players can pilot The Viper through escalating waves of asteroids and enemy
ships, chain combo multipliers, collect power-ups, fire missiles, and compete
for high scores. Steam Achievements are implemented and working. The game
supports keyboard and controller. Visual effects including dynamic lighting,
gas clouds, and particle systems are complete. The campaign mode is not yet
available in this build.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to gradually raise the price as significant content updates are
released. Players who support the game during Early Access will get the best
price. We appreciate early supporters and want to reward them for taking a
chance on the game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will actively monitor Steam Discussions and respond to player feedback.
Bug reports, feature suggestions, and balance feedback will all be considered
when planning updates. Players who report bugs or provide constructive
feedback may see their suggestions make it directly into the game. We plan to
post regular update announcements so the community always knows what is being
worked on and what is coming next.”

About This Game

-- PROJECT ASTEROIDZ --

A modern arcade space shooter built for the cabinet generation. No story. No hand-holding. Just you, your ship, and

everything trying to kill you.

PURE ARCADE. PURE SKILL.

Project Asteroid Z pulls from the golden era of arcade shooters — Galaga, 1942, Raiden — and pushes it forward with

modern juice, deep enemy AI, and a combo system that rewards aggression. Every wave is harder. Every faction fights

differently. Every run is yours to lose.

TWO MODES. BOTH BRUTAL.

ARCADE MODE — Classic wave-based combat. Survive escalating enemy fleets, chain combos for massive score multipliers,

and push your limits across 25 waves. Every 5th wave brings a boss-tier threat.

SURVIVAL MODE — No enemies. Just physics. Massive wreckage flies at you from every direction and the longer you

survive, the faster it comes. Hit milestones for bonus points.

FOUR ENEMY FACTIONS. ALL LETHAL.

The Grey Alien Fleet — Erratic saucer ships, tractor beams, and ring-burst plasma fire.

The Iron Collective — Cold mechanical warships with rotating turrets, burst cannons, and shield domes.

Void Corsairs — Pirates with ram attacks, stolen powerups, and triple hardpoint fire.

The Swarm — Organic. Alive. Wrong. Acid mines, splitting spore pods, and a Leviathan firing in all 8 directions.

KEY FEATURES

- Combo Chain System — Kill fast, multiply your score

- Off-Screen Radar — Pulsing arrows warn you of off-screen threats

- Ship Command HUD — Live hull, shields, laser heat, and missile factory

- Laser Heat System — Overheat your gun and pay for it

- Unique Faction Projectiles — Every enemy fires something different

- Random Events — Asteroid storms, double points, slow-mo kill cam

- Prestige System — New palettes, trail colors, and speed boosts per run

- High Score Leaderboard — 100 entries, prove yourself

EARLY ACCESS

Arcade and Survival are complete and polished. Coming next: 50-stage campaign, online co-op for up to 8 players, and

more enemy factions.

Hit the leaderboard. Break your combo record. Don't let the Leviathan win.
