Hi I have made an update post 2 years ago regarding how I handle bans, which is here: TLDR: I manage bans manually and I check the backend. I don't use AI or any automation, but there is an anticheat mechanism which flags players who cheat and ruin the experience for people who care about getting to the top of the leaderboard legitimately. I'm not going to mention any names, but apparently, a p…
Fixed a bug after entering the weekly planet and going back to the main menu, where the mouse highlight gets disabled, and the "Quit" option is selected. (Thanks sebzanga) · Fixed some bugs with the shop · Fixed a bug related to the Endless Run menu where leaderboards would overlap over eachother. · Adjusted planet randomness, where sometimes you would randomly get a larger or smaller planet in…
Asteroids ++ 1.4.0 - Endless run is a brand new gamemode in which you are beating an endless queue of planets until you can’t take it anymore! It’s essentially a roguelite. If you die, you lose everything for that run (because hardcore mode is enabled for endless run) and submit a score how many planets and sectors you have beaten. Oh yeah, and ironman is also enabled. So no skill tree advantag…
- Fixed campaign completion stats not saving (oops) - Fixed sniper not doing continuous damage, and it's tier 4 skill. This bug was there in 1.3.5 and caused the sniper to be 6-7 times weaker than it should be (Buff) - Fixed bouncy orb level 1 weapon to spawn orbs every wave (which is a buff) - Fixed crash and purchase issue with the lethal business campaign (thanks sebzanga) - Power star now i…

Make sure to update the game to 1.3.4b to enter! (1.3.4a won't work!) For winners: make sure to add me on steam at the end of the event to receive the reward! Good luck!
- Fixed item drops, sorry for the huge confusion! - Fixed spawning asteroids where sometimes more colored asteroids would spawn than they should and less normal asteroids would spawn than they should - Nerfed the player strafing by dramatically decreasing ability power if the player is dealing damage to asteroids, so more damage dealt = more ability power lost (Don't worry! You still get abilit…
This is more of a patch update to be honest, but because this has a lot of fixes, this is a regular update. Also, I updated the game engine to GM2024.14, which caused the game to be much larger than it is, so I didn't intend to clickbait people thinking this is some huge 200mb update. This is probably a bug on the engine side, so it might be fixed in the next update. Also if there are any other…

Hi everyone, Infiland here, I'm writing this to let people know something. Asteroids ++ and The Colorful Creature will continue to support Windows 10 , despite it’s deprecation today. I will announce when those games will be out of support, the major factor would be GameMaker suddenly abandoning this OS. Since The Colorful Creature is open source, you may still download old releases for their s…
Features · Added a new 10 planet campaign, Lethal Business · This campaign is a bit different than others, it has two ways of unlocking it, either by owning a certain game on steam, or by purchasing it with credits. Owning the game on steam for some campaigns will unlock the game without having to spend a dime! · In this case, this campaign requires Lethal Company on Steam, or 20000 credits to…
Overhauled the speed utility: · Speed utility is now available in casual difficulty, previously it was locked down due to the weight system · BUT speed no longer affects player speed, it now affects player bullets · What does that mean? Some weapons rely on player speed to deal even more damage, for instance, rockets, fireworks and mini rock pods deal damage the larger the impact is. Other bull…
- Fix random when trying to destroy asteroids (thanks sebzanga) - Loading weekly planet content is slightly faster and more reliable - Updated scribble and steamworks extensions
- Daily levels can now equip the player with fireworks and the power star - Fireworks, rockets and rockpods now turn 180 degrees when hit by a dark green asteroid - Fixed crash for daily levels (thanks awaranoid) - Fixed more ironman related bugs
Changes: Added two new campaigns: Teegarden Campaign and The Jovian Moons Teegarden Campaign features 4 planets, with a new gimmick of 'disproportionate' planets, where you will face 3x4 planets, or 4x3. The campaign will feature Teegarden B, C and D, and the Teegarden Star, which is 5x5! The Jovian Moons campaign features 6 planets: Ganymede, Callisto, Io, Europa, Amalthea, Himalia. These are…
HAPPY FIRST YEAR ANNIVERSARY Happy birthday Asteroids ++ ! The game was released on 20th June of 2024, how time flies doesn't it? Well it's time to reveal some next changes for the game. Breakdown I am still seeing the player base enjoying and playing the game. I've been pushing the game to other platforms like gx.games where the game got jawdropping 70000 players playing it! And 10000 steam pl…
Fixed the tutorial softlock (Thanks Scary Guy) Disabled some stuff in the web version (like steam inventory, which isn't even available in the first place)
A few players reported that there is an item issue where steam will stack inventory items. This was a backend change on their end it seems, but it breaks how item combining works, so before 1.3.0 is released, there will be yet another patch for 1.2.9. Sorry for the big wait on the content, I am still working on it, along with other cool projects in mind :) Changes: - Final boss explosions are n…
