Roids
A hybrid multiplayer asteroids clone
About
I made this game to challenge to myself to make a multiplayer game that is fun in 40 hours total. Version 0.0.1 reflects those 40 hours. The game is currently incomplete, buggy and has intentionally bad graphics. Multiplayer works, and it is a bit of fun.
Features
- 2D Team Multiplayer
- Hybrid of RTS and Action gameplay
- It's Free (GPL)

Some screenshots so far...
Release Notes for version 0.0.2
- Hosting your own server works now
- Many speed improvements
- Will try and use psyco if available
- Settings are now saved and loaded on start up
- "OpenGL.GL.GLerror: [Errno 1281] invalid value" crash fixed
See ChangeLog for older versions
