- New Phasing power-up! Temporarily nothing can touch you! - New Xray power-up! See what treasures are in which asteroids! - New button to trigger shields, enable them in your own time (or not). - Improved the TRAINING section. - Now using Apple SpriteKit’s physics engine to detect collisions.

- Brand new TUTORIAL! Get comfortable learning without being shot at or hit by asteroids! - Shields power-up! Watch out aliens! - Scanners power-up! See what treasures an asteroid has. - If you see the new power-ups, get them before they disappear. They don't stick around like torpedos and hyperspace power-ups. - Switch to Accelerometer briefly shows the button quadrants so button and info screen removed from start. - Game over screen is tappable anywhere to restart game, not just the logo (except on the Pause button) - Ship icons in HUD. So nice :-) - Alien soldier now a little tougher. - Changed treasure colors to colorblind friendly colors. - Max number of asteroids is now 6. - Lowered average speeds of asteroids a little. - Updated colors to color blind friendly palette. - Many new sounds. - FIX: Asteroids will not split and be on very similar trajectories. - FIX: Asteroids will never go super slow.

Fixed: Game controller was not being recognized on home screen for subsequent plays in same session.

The pause alert dialog box now it supports dynamic fonts.

Backbone One game controller support! Have full view of your screen when using the game controller (no buttons or fingers in your view). You do NOT need a game controller to play. If you have a game controller connected, you'll have access to the settings screen to map the game commands to your controller buttons/thumbsticks/triggers. The Alien brains have been improved, watch out! Treasures now disappear after a certain amount of time. Much work under the hood, performance improvements and bug fixes.

• More aliens! More Aliens! Now there are both soldiers and workers! • More stats! Now you can see number of asteroids mined, aliens destroyed, hit percentage, number of shots, and amount of time played. Tap pause button to see them. • When leaving game, it automatically puts up the pause alert. So instead of returning to the game and having to jump into the action, you can review your stats and then click Resume. • The tappable area of the pause button is larger. • Fixed bug where if you collided into the last asteroid of a level, you didn't lose a ship. • Fixed pause button scaling on large devices. • Fixed speed of aliens on large devices, now it should feel the same across devices of very small to very large screens.

•Aliens! They're worth a lot if you get them first.  •Treasures! Mine them from the asteroids, don't let the aliens get them first! Different colors have different values, rarer ones being worth more. •Level bonuses are much better. •Set your shot-to-hit ratio at the end or during the game by tapping the pause button. •You can now listen to your favorite podcast or music in the background as you play (previously the game would pause background sounds)

• Now support extends down to iOS 15.6 devices. • Pauses when backgrounded, resumes when you bring back to the foreground. No more surprise jumps after returning to the game after you were interrupted by a call ;-)

Fix: The radius for safely spawning was too small due to 2.1’s change of using device boundaries.

• The screen's bounds are now the game's bounds.  • Hyperspace and Flip button positions have been swapped.  • Now you can pause the game or return to home screen.

FIX: I was clearing your game results too soon after the game ended.

Play with or without buttons! Plasma torpedoes and hyperspace are now both power-ups, and they're moving! All new user-interface and art. Game play mechanics have been tweaked, ie asteroids' base speeds increase per level. The game starts easier as well so you can warm up.
