- Update v1.07 - Beginner difficulty! - 15 June 2021
Hello fighters! After several days of testing and rebalancing, this update finally adds the beginner difficulty to Carsteroids. This is a long time requested feature that finally lands after having balanced the "normal" and "less hard" difficulty, aiming to give the opportunity also to the players who prefer a less challenging experience to enjoy the game. This new difficulty setting is still a true Carsteroids experience, but with a small feature added. After selection, it simply increases your car maximum energy so that you can take more hits and last longer in the combat arena. As a result, when you play in story mode, you will also receive more money to spend on upgrades after you clear a stage. Hope this new addition can give a better gameplay experience, especially to the players who are having hard time when playing the other difficulty settings. There is also a new paint job to…
- The half-dead slave - a Carsteroids short story - 10 June 2021
The half-dead slave A Carsteroids short story Unlucky people do not exist, it all depends on their state of mind. Weak people do not exist, it all depends on the tools in their possession. I was a slave of sector 74, assigned to the 10th wave deployment with the promise of freedom if I contributed to beating the main player in the combat arena. That’s every slave prize: stop your target, avoid being killed and you’re free to go. And if you achieve that, stay away from troubles in Vesta City or the troopers will bring you back here. This arena fight is not a complicated task. The only problem is that you’re on foot with only a rifle while your opponent is a combat car, but apart from this small particular you can count on your squad members, if they manage to stay alive. I was ready, mentally trained and half brainwashed, with just my legs, my weapon and a black helmet like the ones who…

- Update v1.06t - 6 March 2021
Hello pilots! Carsteroids just received a new update based on your feedback, thanks very much! This update is about balancing the difficulty and the score bonuses based on it. Because the game has now a third difficulty level, any extra bonus received will be proportioned to the difficulty chosen. The new selectable difficulty level is named "normal (alt)". This is just an alternative variant to "normal" featuring the same difficulty, but with automatic reload. Also, when playing a "Car-ball" single match Vs the CPU you can now win tokens for each goal you score (if you don't lose the match, of course). This change should give an additional reason to choose a single match instead of the tournament. Here the full changelog, let me know what you think! v1.06t changelog: Added the third difficulty level (same as normal, but with automatic reload and a slightly smaller extra bonus for the s…
- Update v1.06 - 23 February 2021
Hello pilots, Carsteroids just received a new update! The new extra mode named "Bonus Round" is ready to play It consists in playing the 4 bonus stages to achieve the best score (and of course for a bit of practice too). You need to unlock the stages by playing the story mode if you never played them before. The sum of the 4 best scores will form a megascore, let's share and compete! ;) I have also added a new item in the bonus stage 4 that adds 5 seconds to your timer when picked up. This addition further balances the gameplay of the stage, I hope it is welcome. As mentioned in the previous news, the Italian translation is now live I didn't notice at the start how much text was present in the game since now, so it's been a quite long journey. Thanks very much to Alessandro Casnigo (Casungo) for all the help! Promo codes are finally active You'll just need to input the code in the title…
- Happy blast week! - 2 February 2021
Hi all, While I am updating Carsteroids with new features I decided to go with an historical low discount here on Steam. The discount will only last this week, so you have few days to grab it :) What to expect in the next update? Well, apart from adding the Italian translation and preparing the code to accomodate other eventual languages, I am working to add special features and events to play the game in different ways, creating different type of situations for fresh new challenges. These feature/events will be activated with a special code at the start, but they will be officially added to the game in the future if they are appealing! The use of the code feature will also be beneficial for the timed events I'll organize, regarding the giveaway of tokens, items, unlock of special events etc. Also, I am adding the possibility to use paint jobs on your car for the arcade mode, I added fe…

- Update v1.05x - 15 July 2020
Hello pilots, thanks to your feedbacks Carsteroids just received a new update. This update is about the recently added "reload" sound effect, now replaced with a new one (the voice sample seemed a bit out of place). Also, now when you enter a boss stage you will find an energy divider that is active for few seconds, this makes the fight not immediately starting (but there is a surprise during stage 20). Hope you'll enjoy! v1.05x changelog: "Reload" voice samples replaced with new sound effects. Energy barrier added before each boss fight. The Scavenger now also appears on stages 1-2. No more received hits when a pop up message is on screen. Achievement "Masochist" is not triggered anymore after the training stage. Fixed a bug preventing shooting/reloading when energy equal to zero. Fixed screen shake when using the bouncing shot. Some minor changes.
- Update v1.05 - Difficulty balancement, checkpoint saving & more - 13 June 2020
Hello fighters! Thanks to your feedbacks the update 1.05 is now live. This update is mainly about difficulty balancement and savegames, but also other things listed below. 1. Difficulty You face many types of opponents in Carsteroids, but they can mainly be categorized in primary and secondary. Primary opponents spawn once at the start of a game (they're your main target) and secondary opponents spawn at some intervals during a play. Before this update a game could have been infinite because the continous spawning of secondary opponents. After this update when you beat a primary opponent no more secondary opponent will enter the combat (now a secondary target enters the arena only if the primary target is still in play). This change brought a significative alteration to the "ecosystem" of Carsteroids because with less secondary opponents less points are generated and consequentially the…
