Picosteroids
Welcome to the rogue galaxy!
Based on the golden era of arcade space shooter - Asteroids, this game takes the classic formula of blasting space rocks and injects it with modern roguelite progression and local multiplayer.
Survive endless waves, face off against hostile UFOs, and build the ultimate ship. Will you team up to survive the void, or blast your friends into stardust?
Key Features
- Roguelite Progression: Choose between 3 random skills after clearing every wave.
- Weapon Synergies: Combine upgrades like Triple Shot with Laser Beam for devastating, screen-clearing firepower.
- Dynamic Difficulty: Enemies and UFOs get faster and more aggressive as your score grows.
- Made in PICO-8: Authentic retro pixel art, CRT vibes, and chiptune sounds.
3 Game Modes
- Single Player: Classic endless survival. How high can you push your highscore?
- Local Co-op: Share the screen, the upgrades, and the glory. Work together to survive!
- Versus (PvP): Duel a friend with Friendly Fire enabled. One mistake, one hit, game over.

This is a great remake. :D I like all the different upgrades you can choose and how you choose which ones to swap out or you can combine certain weapons upgrades.
Thanks, I'm glad you like it!
For now it's the most fun Asteroids experience I've seen. Though I would like to see a warning that parallel shot will replace triple shot and so on
Glad you like it! I just updated the mechanics. Now Double and Triple shot now stack together for a massive 6-way blast. Enjoy!
Oh I think I enjoyed it too much
