Our take on Asteroids... But Roguelite
Instead of treating an asteroid-style shooter as a sequence of standalone arcade runs, this pairs escalating waves with earned currency, shop upgrades, quests, and randomized bosses. The structure makes progression and equipment purchases part of the wave-survival loop.

Begin with a fragile ship and a basic weapon, then fight increasingly numerous, stronger, and more varied enemies.
