And I can think of worse outlets than this." 4/5 User Reviews --------------------- "The future of Asteroid games is here with this well constructed shmup game, the graphics and sound are fantastic and the controls work well with my iPad 2. A must have for asteroid fans" "This is simply stunning - I love it! The graphics are amazing and the gameplay rulez! Some people will love this for the nosalgia of the old coin-op classic, others will love it just cuz it's so freaking awesome!" "Graphics are great, UI is really cool and the giro control is nice and responsive making it a pleasure to play. All the good points from the original with a modern overhaul and major improvements." "This game ROCKS! No pun intended. I've been waiting for a great game like this. Similar to X-wing and the genre. Other space sims dont have anything on this." "Neo Retro. Simplistic in nature - this game scratches that retro itch in a way that doesn't make me feel old! Pew pew laser laser!"

That's why the game is completely playable without making a purchase. They act more like 'cheats' or permanent upgrades. They do not interfere with the normal scoreboards as I separated the IAP scores from the non IAP ones. You can also turn them off from the settings menu too. However, I have to feed my children and pay the mortgage, so in they went. To say that they weren't worth the effort would be an understatement the ratio of purchases is less than 0.02% of those downloading and playing for free... So future updates are unlikely to happen at any pace from now, Asteroid 2012 was created as a hobby indie game for my youngest son. Without further investment from players then development is basically done and no new features will be added. I hope you don't mind me mentioning this, I just wanted to air my reasons for adding them into the game.

So your game is recommended! Anyway I'd wish devs would add them in the official main description of the app @ iTunes/iOS App Store. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
