Description
Asteroid Drift is a challenging spaceship piloting arcade game.
Alone on a collapsing asteroid. Weave your way through 26 nail-biting, butt-clenching deep space tunnels.
Levels go by fast, and victory is all about deft handling of your inertia and momentum. Ultimately, your goal is to not explode, and you're scored based on how much time is left on the clock when you finish a level.
Easy to learn, hard to master physics
Controlling your ship couldn't be simpler. Press left or right to turn clockwise or counterclockwise, and hold thrust to propel forward. Controllers are supported too, so play whatever way you're most comfortable! But beware, actually mastering control of your spacecraft's inertia is no small feat.Designed for Time Attack and replay
Asteroid Drift was designed with time attack replay and speedrunning in mind. The faster you complete a level, the higher the medal you'll receive. There's Bronze, Silver, Gold, and maybe even something beyond that if you want to put in the work. Struggling players are also welcome to opt for extra time or hp to practice completing levels before chasing those high score medals.Asteroid Drift tends to take about 2 hours to roll credits the first time, but 7:21.64 is the speedrun time to beat - "Nick's Time," may it live in infamy.

User Reviews
This game is a reminder that games don't need to be long or complicated to be fun. You just fly around and try to get to the end of the maze, and then try again on the next maze. The first few are really easy, the later ones are insanely hard. Don't forget to speedrun if it gets too easy! And just when you think you mastered the gravity...
It's good, it's clean, fun to drift around and shoot gaps and the thrust weakening the steering means you have to let go of the thrust to make a tight turn which makes it feel very much like drifting or something momentum-y and cutty. It's 1$ and fun, lots of levels probably a couple hours of levels if you restart most of them a few times like I have. GG.
It has a simple, well-executed concept. I think i would've preferred the soundtrack to be a bit more high-energy, so it matches the gameplay more. The level design's pretty clever: it gets you moving fast, it puts you in tight corridors and makes those thread the needle moments.
I think asteroid drift succeeds at everything it wants to do, and, well, it's just really fun, definitely worth the 3 bucks.
A fun challenge with good assists.
Really fun little game, perfect for speedrunning too!
Absolutely recommend it!
