Asteroid Arena
Asteroid Arena is a player vs player, space ship battle arena, where you gather up your “friends” and have fun shooting around in an asteroid field while trying to be the last ship standing. World is shrinking, time is running out and you need to find the other ships, weapons, protection and boosters before the others find you!… Or just hide in a nebula cloud until everybody else have destroyed each other.
The game is played with 2-4 players either on the same computer (with split-screen) or on different computers by inviting your Steam friends.
For playing on the same computer it is highly suggested to use gamepads as some keyboards have limitations on how many keys that can be pressed simultaneously.

Black Sun
In this game, you fly a space ship through an open world. Your sidekick is an AI assistant who understands your text-written commands and helps you to steer the ship, survive heavy space combat or to find the next gas station.
"Space is a terrible place. The kidnapping of my brother and the Captain’s death didn’t make it easier. Thank god, there is Hopper."
You play Eli, a young man stranded on the antique star freighter Lucky Beggar. You don’t like space yet here you are.
Features

Text freely in natural language with your AI assistant Hopper: let her fly the ship, get her help during combat or ask for a market analysis to maximise your trading profit. She knows a lot - including terrible space jokes.
-
A large 2D open-world universe containing numerous solar systems, space stations and ships to discover. Large means astronomical and impossible-to-fly-through. Be grateful if the jump engine works properly.

-
Enjoy epic space battles with hundreds of ships.
-

Put on the headphones, fasten your seat belt and relax: one hour of orchestral soundtrack - originally composed just for this game!

Angry Space Bees
I LOVE IT! I love the classic graphics. I love the music for sure! It’s simple, elegant, and fun! My ONLY request would be to make the shooting button right-CTRL instead of left-CTRL. I can cross my arms up anyway, so it’s not a deal breaker. It’s definitely worth adding to your library.

NeverDeath
Brawl your way across the solar system as nine distinct characters ranging from a sword wielding space acrobat to a fifteen foot tall monstrosity from the ocean depths of Neptune as you explore the intricacies of the unique left/right combat system and witness the achievements of mankind after 200 years in space.
The left/right combat adds in new ways to attack and lets players choose between avoiding attacks through movement or standing their ground and retaliating, choosing correctly is often the difference between victory and defeat.

Dispite its simplicity is the game a lot of fun and stays fun for a long time. The Map ideas are great and the character design is just gorgeous. The tiny details about the character just give the game so much life and you can tell that the creators put a lot of effort in it. I can recommend this game for everyone who loves to play with and against friends.
