Hi! We have just submitted a huge update to Asteroid BBQ including a name change. It will now be know as (drumroll insert) SHOCKWAVE! This of course is a free update to the good people that purchased Asteroid BBQ. Some of the improvements include: - Larger playing area (twice as big!) - Enemy ships that track your every movement - Green asteroids that evade your gun fire - Shockwave attack that wipes out all enemies on screen - Achievements - Online leaderboards - Upgraded graphics including new ship and lighting effects - Improved controls I also want to thank the members of TouchArcade who offered great feedback that went into this update!

I for one didn't really like Asteroid BBQ much to begin with. Did the update make the controls a little more responsive and maneuverable? Last time I played it, it was like navigating through a pool of molasses
The ship accelerates significantly faster now, allowing you to dodge easier. It will probably be the first thing people notice. Also the controls are fixed on screen instead of allowing you to place it anywhere on screen. While the former has some advantage, we find it to be much easier to play with a consistent controller position. With achievements and leaderboards, the added goal and competition gives the game a whole new purpose and makes accomplishing something that much more satisfying. I will try to get a video up shortly so you guys can really see how much has changed.
