Asteroidians

Asteroidians is a multiplayer strategy platformer artillery game that follows in the footsteps of the acclaimed Worms: Armageddon. Asteroidians hopes to bring Worms: Armageddon to modern standards, as well as build upon the formula that made the original so great.

All of the features of the original are planned, and more!

Asteroidians has been in 1-man development since March 2016. If you like what you see, help me out by sharing the word!
