About

Astrohawk is a SNES homebrew developed by Paul Lay from Playsoft, the game was originally developed in the 90's but it was until 2014 that was published in cartridge. Rumors say that companies like Electronic Arts showed interest on the game when it was under development. Astrohawk is the rightful successor to the 'Asteroids' crown. It has a similar level design, a fully capable control system and a point scoring marker that offers replay-ability. Alongside this there is the difficulty. Sometimes, as seen in many clones of 'Asteroids', the learning curve and difficulty clash and create an abomination of awfulness. 'Astrohawk' gives players the option of reliving a game that was perfection (asteroids) but with an updated look, fantastic soundtrack and phenomenal screen displays.
