Some of you may have seen the free game, a5teroids, in our games section, and may have played it. In conjunction with Tristaph media we've given it a facelift and added some code improvements to the game, including a high score list. The game looks really sharp now thanks to Tristaph, and the PC, Mac, and Linux versions are all available for free! We're going to make all new graphics and most of the new code (some doesn't fit in, or we would make it all free) freely available in the Allegro 5 demo game, where a5teroids has lived for a few years now.

On top of that, we'll soon be seeing an iOS version in the iTunes App Store! The iOS version sports a new tilt control interface, as well as support for Joypad and the 60beat GamePad. More news on this front when it comes in (and this isn't vapourware, it has already been submitted to Apple.) For now, enjoy a5teroids for your desktop computer.

Update: Apple has rejected the game from the Mac App Store and we suspect they will do the same for the iOS version (due to Astroids/Atari copyright issues.) However, we're preparing the updates for Allegro 5 right now, and the desktop/laptop versions are still available here.
