Well, first of all I really think you should remove the Co-op Tag as it is wrong, this is local Co-Op only. Co-op lures people in who think this has network support. The idea of the game is good but you should really add options to customize the controls. At the current state I would expect something like this on newgrounds for free, but not on steam for 4 euro. BTW: The controller support might be true, but it is not very satisfying if you use a non x-box controller. The analog stick and the directional pad are inverted and as so rendered useless. This game is kinda fun, but also kinda not finished.

I would recommend to play this game it is fun (Short play due to busy day) Pros: Music 4k HD Grafix Very Simple easy to control Power ups added into an "asteroids" style game The feeling of urgancy when you are respawning. When your ship blows up, you can get back to base and start another one, but this process takes like 3-5 seconds. This being said, as those giant space rocks float at you, you are biting your nails and smacking your keyboard screaming, "HURRY UP DAMN YOU," Con: Co-op and local co-op only (i can understand its not easy to do, and i am not a game dev so i don't know the depth of difficulty that this creates) This is a con for me, but you can only go forward. This being said you have to turn your ship around to go after what you were planning on grabbing. This doesn't break the game for me, and this is more of a pet peive than anythings else, but it is something i will get over and turn into a "skill" rather then an annoyance. Not a con, but Newtonian Physics. Shoo...
There is some sort of bug that can make game virtually unplayable. Upon destruction of any asteroid game freezes for few moments. Given that this is a game where you shoot a lot of asteroids, that becomes annoying very soon. Developer is aware of the problem and it was about two months since he requested additional information on PC specifics and never was seen since then.

Awesome local multiplayer game. I know the developer personally and have witnessed him creating this game over the past 6 months. It's amazing to see how it's evolved and how much fun it is to try to survive the mayhem of asteroids with your friends. The game definitely envokes that 'one more round' feeling and burst out loud laughing moments. I just played a game with a friend and he got frozen while sniperoids were locking onto him. Panic ensued. Awesome.
Co-op suport is only local splitscreen, misleading tags made me buy this game.
Full disclosure: I know the dev and played this game several times during development. This is a great local co-op take on asteroids. I've played this with friends and it's a blast! Get it!
Definitely worth the money - It's very satisfying to watch the asteroids burst and to collect the resources. It's simple enough to play for 15 minutes at a time, but it's addicting enough that you could easily lose track of an hour. Here's a quick overview: Music - Great! Sets the tone pretty well, not repetitive and annoying. Controls - Solid, smooth; I prefer the controller myself but the keyboard felt natural as well. GamePlay - It's addictingly simple; Fly around, blast asteroids and protect your hub. Watch out for enemies on the minimap! Graphics - There's not much to them, but they're consistent and aesthetically pleasing. I would highly recommend this title.
The competitive mode was interesting, the cooperative mode lacked in content and meaning in my opinion. Very little content overall, two modes and thats all. Worst part is, is that is lagged on a relatively powerful laptop. With such simplistic graphics it really should be able to hold a much better framerate than it did.
CMYW is an enjoyable re-imagining of asteroids. The control mechanism is a little different from the original asteroids, in that ship rotation retains momentum, making it challenging to both fly and shoot where you are trying to aim. The action starts off slowly, but quickly builds and the player must balance the risk of leaving their base and the reward of more points / kills. An ideal game for a short gaming session.
