AstroMenace is a 3D scrolling shooter, developed and published by Russian independent game developer Viewizard.
Gameplay
The game has 13 levels, within which, money and experience points are earned by destroying enemy aliens, pirates, or meteorites. Using this money, the player can purchase from a selection of 22 ship types, 19 weapons, and 20 ship upgrades.
Development
In 2006, Viewizard's developer Mikhail Kurinnoi began beta development of AstroMenace. The Windows version was offered for $14.95 as shareware early access title, having a free downloadable test version, but a Linux version was offered as donationware.[2]Template:R/superscript
After full release in February 2007,[3]Template:R/superscript Viewizard sold the Windows version directly from their website for $19.95.[4]Template:R/superscript
In October 2007, version v1.2 of the game's C++ source code was released as free and open-source software under GPLv3.[5]Template:R/superscript A fork called OpenAstroMenace was started at SourceForge.net. Some years later, Viewizard moved its own development to this fork by unifying both branches and making it the official version. Ports for other platforms were later developed, with Mac OS X and OpenPandora versions being released.[6]Template:R/superscript In 2016 the game's content was re-released under an open content CC BY-SA 4.0 Creative Commons license.[7]Template:R/superscript In April 2018 some artwork with sources (.3ds render files) were released under the GPLv3 in their own repository.[8]Template:R/superscript Development continues on GitHub (as of 2025).[1]Template:R/superscript
