About: Welcome to SpaceBallz! Take control of your very own starfighter and shoot wave upon wave of incoming Spaceballz to help defend planet earth. But be careful, enemy spaceships are on the loose!!!

Description

Well, I could never find the perfect asteroids clone, so I started making my own. I wanted the player ship to be highly maneuverable and fun to play. It's based off the DirectX SDK Simple Sample and uses 2D textured quads with an isometric view. The collision detection currently only uses rectangles but I plan to add per-pixel collisions in the next version. I wanted to share it others and get feedback. Enjoy!!!
