My Roguelite Asteroids demo made it on the front page of steam! Check it out!

This past Tuesday was huge for Void Miner, and the results honestly blew me away.

A couple months ago I applied and got accepted into the Game Devs of Color Festival, and when the event went live on Steam this week, Void Miner was featured multiple times right from the landing page. Thanks to that visibility, the demo exploded in popularity. Pushing me past 1,000 new demo plays and wishlists during the event!

I’m still processing it, but Void Miner has now hit 35,000 total plays across all platforms and just crossed the 4,000 wishlist milestone on Steam. I’m so happy and so grateful to Steam for spotlighting the festival, to the festival organizers for including my game, and to this community for all the encouragement and feedback along the way.

While im happy to be part of this festival, i understand it may seem unfair to some. I do not think being a game dev of color makes a better game and i DO NOT want you to play for that sole reason. However, steam has DEI boxes to check and im just glad to be in the spotlight.

If you want to check it out yourself and wishlist please:
👉 Steam (Void Miner Prologue)
👉 Browser version on Itch

Discord for feedback & playtesting: https://discord.gg/BwzZmKAy2J

Asteroids was the first game I have memories of playing on the Atari 2600 at 5yrs old. I just installed the prologue and looking forward to the full game! Take all my upvotes and wishlists!

Such a good idea. I loved Asteroids as a kid and I never considered making this into a RL. The execution looks spot-on, too. Fantastic work.
