Echoes
Echoes is sort of a blend between Asteroids and Geometry Wars. Like in the classic Asteroids you control a space ship floating around somewhere in space, trying to stay alive while asteroids are flung around. But unlike Asteroids, Echoes has some extras.
Instead of just small and large asteroids, there are four asteroid sizes (ranging from mini to enourmous) comets, meteor storms, asteroid belts, planets (with moons), black holes and the sun. There are also both energy and weapon power-ups.

Bottom Line: Asteroids + Geometry Wars... that really does sum it up This game is a truly entertaining arcade style game. The music and graphics keep things lively, the variations as levels go past make the game constantly more difficult. As the game's help option says:
10 Shoot Stuff 20 Die 30 Goto 10 It's as simple as that... It really does have an old school arcade feel to it. The graphics remind me of the spawn of Asteroids and the old Voodoo Lights screen saver. It's fun, and for a free game, the value is unbeatable. It's worth checking out if you dropped a lot of quarters back in the 80s. I've not played any Binary Zoo Studios games before, but I might just check them out now. Learning Curve: Instant!
