Hello! Im Ryan, an independent games developer from the UK and Im now releasing my first two games to the App Store, this is one of them! Asterun is a challenging space-themed arcade game in which you pilot a spaceship through an endless asteroid field, dodging and shooting incoming asteroids whilst battling the UFOs which try to stop you in your path. By shooting asteroids and UFOs, and also flying for longer, you can gain points therefore becoming the ultimate spaceship captain on the leaderboards! You can find more information at ryanbournedev.wordpress.com/asterun. Asterun is designed with the Cocos2d-Spritebuilder game engine and is supported with un-obtrusive adverts on the menus; no initial purchases or in-app purchases are required to play this game! Asterun is launching today, download at app2.it/asterun! Id really appreciate some feedback, and if you like it do feel free to keep playing and share with your friends, follow the twitter account and like the facebook page! Thank you for your time! Ryan.

If you like it, feel free to drop me a tweet or leave a comment here! All feedback is highly appreciated! I'm also watching the scoreboards, if you submit a score that's near mine I will challenge you! Stronsay Well-Known Member Aug 6, 2015 950 205 43 #3 Stronsay, Sep 7, 2015 Thanks for providing a free game. It works well in a flappy asteroid sort of way. I'm in 3rd place but doubt that will last long. My initial reaction is why do I have to keep tapping screen to fire? That's just not done these days, and is giving me RSI thumb. The schmup/bullet hell etiquette in today's polite society is to provide auto-fire as standard, and I'll be grateful if you'll consider implementing this. Then I thought I'd like to see the usual upgrades for weapons plus shields, though that may take away from the character of Asterun and make it like everything else, so maybe not. Anyway I'll keep trying to improve my score until my thumb breaks.

Well, if you get nearer to 1st place I'll have to take action upon that; you've been warned! You have an excellent point about tapping to fire, I can't believe I didn't consider that before I sent it off. Auto fire been added onto the list for the next update, thank you I think I may avoid going towards upgrades etc., perhaps keep it more so everyone is on the same playing field; I may add colour customisation if that's something that's asked for, along with a few other ideas I've got stored up. I'll try to push out an update to Asterun (and also Fruit Flight) nearer the end of the month, so I can gather a few more ideas first. Again, thanks for the feedback! Stronsay Well-Known Member Aug 6, 2015 950 205 43 #5 Stronsay, Sep 7, 2015 Looking forward to update, and thanks for taking comments on board. RyanUK Member Jul 12, 2015 15 0 0 Software Engineer and Games Designer United Kingdom #6 RyanUK, Sep 7, 2015 I'll be sure to update everyone on here when the update is out. Thanks again for the feedback! Today went great everyone, thank you to everyone who downloaded it and gave it a go.

RyanUK Member Jul 12, 2015 15 0 0 Software Engineer and Games Designer United Kingdom #7 RyanUK, Sep 8, 2015 Good morning everyone! I've finally got some stats for yesterday, it definitely went better than I first thought! I'm also seeing a few people get closer to the top on the leaderboards, so it seems like I'm going to have to go and gain some points! Have a good day everyone, as per normal feel free to leave feedback here or on my Twitter page! Ryan RyanUK Member Jul 12, 2015 15 0 0 Software Engineer and Games Designer United Kingdom #8 RyanUK, Sep 9, 2015 Hello again everyone, another quick update! I'm very happy with how the past few days have gone, it's really good to see people enjoying the games! I'm still looking for feedback, so feel free to let me know what you think! We have a few new features thought out too, they may be coming out in a future update! Thanks, have a good evening! RyanUK Member Jul 12, 2015 15 0 0 Software Engineer and Games Designer United Kingdom #9 RyanUK, Oct 6, 2015 Hello everyone! I've released a new update for Asterun - feel free to check it out here: app2.it/asterun! Although in this version I haven't focused on new features, I have fixed a few minor issues and made it run even more smoothly than before! It's definitely worth a look if you've got some time free and want to try something new! The features that have been suggested will be going into the next update! If you keep an eye out on my website, Twitter or Facebook you'll hear some very big news about both Fruit Flight and Asterun really soon; along with some new projects that I'll be announcing!
