Xentron Attack is an arcade game based on one of my favorite games, Asteroids Deluxe and some other asteroids style vector games like Space Fury, Solar Quest, Space Duel, and Star Castle. This project was first started to experiment the vector graphics for displaying objects without using sprites, and I eventually decided to make a more colorful version of Asteroids Deluxe with it.

Features :

- True Vector-based graphics.

- Fast-phased gameplay inspired by Asteroids Deluxe.

- Very Smart enemies who calculates your movements. Use shield and warp wisely.

- Every 3th waces feature special challenges. Fight with Xentron units and eventually destroy their battleship.

- Dock with special docking weapons to increase your firepower.

- 2 players gameplay.  Play cooperatively or competitly for greater scores.

- Online Leaderboard to compete with other people. You must set 3 or smaller start lives, 10000 bonus score, and intermediate or harder difficulties to access leaderboard after the game is over.

- Supports Xinput controllers.

- Added more waves including a boss level.

- Added Stars in the background.

- Improved explosion graphics.

- Improved the player's controls.

I have spent several days improving the player's controls and optimization.
The game is nearly done except the leaderboard.

- Decreased Friction a lot so you can drift around while shooting.


- Added New enemies : Plasma sphere, Drifter, TailHunter.


- Added Asteroids Noise that gets faster as you destroy the meteors.


- Balanced the game difficulty.


- Added 1 new docking weapon.


- Added online leaderboard. Both player 1 and 2 can upload their score after the game is over. leaderboard is not available in easier difficulties.


This game is almost done, I'll release the test version after some more play testing and bug fixes.

- Added 4 new docking weapons.
- Added Mouse controls.
- Changed Straightforward control method - Press directions to move and hold thrust to stop.
- Lots of improvements in the game balance.

I found that some people found this game too hard so I made a balance patch today.

- Shield is now easier to use. Pressing shield key will keep activating it and pressing it again or firing a bullet will deactivate it.

- The difficulty increases slower in novice mode to make it more easier.

- Balanced asteroids speed and enemy difficulties.

- Nerfed bosses but they will run away if you die. If you don't want to deal with bosses just sacrifice a life.

​1.4.4 patch

- Increased Invinsible time after being spawned to 4 seconds from 1.5 seconds. However, Shooting or using shield and warp will deactivate the invinsibility.
- Reflectors now fire bullets for self-defending.
- After level 36 (First loop), The order of special waves become random.
- Reverted StraightForward control to the older version. moving with direction keys only was rather inconvenient and not precise.


I'm planning to release the game on steam, this will be the last post-steam update.

[hijong park]

I have made a major update before publishing it on steam.

- Added 2 New game modes : Dogfight mode and 1979 mode.

In Dogfight mode, you must fight with enemy ships and kill or capture the survived pilots for greater score.
1979 mode plays similar to the original Asteroids. You have slower movement speed and only can use Warp.

- Lots of bug fixes.
- Completely remade game difficulty to make it more forgiving.
