Hello everybody :)
After asking here : http://www.gamemecca.net/forums/showthread.php?p=679311#post679311 , people told me there was no problem to post a thread about a game I love, so here I go :
I discovered Astronoid 8 weeks ago and am really addicted to it. It’s so fun to race online with other peoples. I would like to race with more people, that’s why I come here to recommend it. We aren’t so much players yet because the game has just been released for the first time. The developpers haven’t got any money (nor time) to promote it. That’s why, we, players, decided to help.
It would be very kind of you if you could speak about this game around you, that would be so cool to support an independant game.

I’ll try to sum up the idea to you :
Astronoid delivers a multiplayer, high-speed galactic shoot-and-race PC game playable on the Internet. Racing (or shooting) other players online in a space ship with quick and fluid mouse-controlled steering and a 3-D front-seat vantage point, the game begins as simple, arcade-like fun and soon unveils a depth as impressive as the top simulation games.
It’s very innovative because it uses P2P which allows 5000 players to be online at the same time, adding everybody’s CPU and bandwitdh creating a sort of “huge computer”, no more problem of “host” for the game.
Before coming to race with us, have a look at a video, these aren’t official trailers, you will find the official one on the website. These are only classical races, the killkill mode is more impressive !
Astronoid’s website : http://www.astronoid.net/en/accueil/index.html
Official trailer (130mb) : http://download2.astronoid.net/videos/astronoid-ingame1.avi
Players videos : http://realjarod.free.fr/Astronoid/ingame/asteroa.avi (15mb)
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/djean007/_private/courselongwalk.wmv (26mo)
But the best thing to do would be to download it first, it’s free, you can play on 4 planets with 3 different ships. Of course, as usual, if you pay you can have more planets and faster ships. But lots of us only play on the free tracks, and we have fun like this too. But as I’m really addicted, I bought my licence :)
We’re waiting for you !
Best regards,
Snail (don’t hesitate to tell me if you try the game, I’ll be pleased to come and play online with you and give you tips :)
PS : Any feedback would be trully appreciated :)
