Worth to download. Little of 80's Asteroid, Maelstrom, and Pirates concept from Escape Velocity. I played all these games for many hundred or maybe thousand of hours. This is a good game but it needs at least short keys options and a more "reach" story. Its addictive but can not last in time as much us all the others I mention before the way it is now.

Wow. This game rocks.

It taps into a kind of aesthetic that few other games do well, if their developers try at all.

It has a soul. It's honest and simple.

Makes me think of Asterax a lot.

Highly addictive.

If only there were more power-ups...

This game is a 2-D (with 3D sprites) game that very addictively recreates Asteroids. The other reviews are correct - it is fabulous! With all due respect to Parsec, this is the real "Commercial Quality Freeware". If I had a request to make, it would be to let me remap the keys.

This game is SUPER addictive, I absolutely love it! It is a great stress-realiver at work, just a play a quick level and boom you are feeling fine! The interface is easy, the concept is sound and the gameplay is challenging and yet still fun. Great work!

This game recalls the golden age of video games (1980s) when gameplay was king. Back then, graphics and sound were primitive, so authors had to focus on developing a great *game*, with responsive and intuitive gameplay rather than dazzling visuals and sounds. The amazing thing about Argonaut is that the author seems to have started out with those basic ideas in mind, but then added great graphics and sound effects as well--the sound effects in particular are excellent, with multiple randomly-selected effects even for the explosions, which in a subtle way reduces repetitiveness while playing. There are many other small touches which add up to an addictive, immersive experience. I also appreciate that the controls are simple, and that the weapon choices are few--far too many mediocre games try to improve themselves by tacking on lots of extras. Argonaut keeps it simple and finds a very effective balance between rich gameplay and simple operation.

In short, this is the best game of this genre that I have played in years.

Adrenalin, anger, fear. A beautiful game full of strategy, simple and action packed. Fighting in "Asteriod" style with pirates is not unlike the subway scene in the matrix where two bodies spin past each other firing shots. Errie glowing crystals and dark huge objects thrill you.

The upgrade I want most is reverse trusters!

What's makes it best is it's free free free!
