This Asteroids Game is a reimagined version of the classic space shooter, combining retro arcade aesthetics with modern gameplay enhancements. Players pilot a spaceship through an asteroid field, blasting space rocks while avoiding collisions and collecting power-ups to maximize their score.
Core Features:
- Dynamic Difficulty: The game progressively gets harder as your score increases. At 400 points, asteroids move 15% faster, and at 1000 points, they speed up by an additional 10%.
- Power-Ups: Enhance your gameplay with special power-ups including Triple Shot that lets you fire three bullets at once and Shield that provides temporary invulnerability.
- Level Progression: Clear all asteroids to advance to the next level, with each level introducing more challenging asteroid patterns.
- Game States: Enjoy a robust pause/resume system complete with a countdown, and a Game Over screen that allows high score entry with a leaderboard display.
- Keyboard Controls: Use arrow keys or WASD for navigation, SPACE to shoot, and press 'P' to pause the game at any time.
- Leaderboard System: Compete for the top high scores! High scores are saved locally, letting you immortalize your achievements.
