Every so often a game is released which defies genre classification, and Asteroids Do Concern Me just so happens to be one such game. For reasons I’ll cover later, the game seems to skirt every label imaginable and forces me both as a player and a writer to come up with an exclusive descriptor to try to quantify my experience with the game. The simplest title I can give Asteroids Do Concern Me is: “side-scrolling asteroid dodger”. While it’s not the prettiest, of descriptions I think it pretty much sums up the entire game, which doesn’t bode well for the game’s depth.
CFD!'s Rob Thomas reviews a new Indie Uprising title:
"Oh, Asteroids. Since the beginning of time you’ve been a thorn in the side of gamers. From your humble, vector-based origins in the arcade to threatening extinction-level cataclysms from on high, you’ve been there with us. And now you’ve returned to trouble us once again in the Indie Games Winter Uprising’s newest entry: Asteroids Do Concern Me."
The Indie Games Winter Uprising is an Independent Games event on the Xbox 360, which is promoted and organized by the independent developers themselves. Today's highlights include Chu's Dynasty and Asteroids Do Concern Me.

I should have known it was only a matter of time before someone started charging for a Copter knockoff.

Ouch. Tough review, but I gotta say, you've definitely convinced me not to get it... It didn't seem like a must-buy anyway.
ouch. I don't think I even game Valhalla Knights a 1... or maybe I did lol I don't remember.
Rough! The rocket looks so much like a penis, how could you not appreciate such art design.
