I wanted to share my new project—a multi-player twist on the classic Asteroids game. I built this game on seeing other Indiehackers make cool things and I wanted to learn game development as salty B2B SAAS product manager.

Here’s a quick overview:

What It Is: A multi-player version of the classic Asteroids game where you can battle against bots in real time, human multiplayer coming soon. Dodge asteroids, collect power-ups, and compete for the highest score in a fast-paced arena.

Why I Built It: I wanted to recreate the nostalgic feel of the original Asteroids while adding modern multi-player elements. The project was a fun way to learn about real-time networking and game physics, and I’m curious to see how the community reacts (if at all).

Technical Details: * Built using Cursor with a combo of Sonnet 3.5 and 3.7. Tts HTML5, JavaScript, WebSockets hosted on render.

* I tried to focused on smooth, fast gameplay and a simple, retro visual style (think vector scanning).

Its barely working: Fair warning its rough, it takes ages to load and there is no loading indicator. The game mechanics can be glitchy, the bots are overzealous and aggressive.

What I’m Looking For: Feedback on the gameplay, suggestions for new features, and thoughts on performance improvements. If you’re into retro games or have ideas for enhancing multi-player interactions, I’d love to hear from you!

Thanks for taking the time to try it out. I’m looking forward to your feedback!
