About
Dark Matter is a retro-style arcade space shooter inspired by classic games like Asteroids. Players pilot a spacecraft in open space, destroying enemies and hazards while managing momentum, inertia, and positioning.
The focus is on fast reactions, precise control, and survival under constant pressure.
Movement in Dark Matter is driven by physics rather than fixed paths. Thrust, rotation, and momentum all matter, rewarding players who master ship control and spatial awareness.
Combat is immediate and skill-based, with escalating difficulty that challenges reflexes and situational awareness rather than long-term progression systems.
Dark Matter is built around short, intense play sessions and high-score chasing. Each run pushes players to improve efficiency, accuracy, and survivability.
This is a pure arcade experience, designed for replayability rather than narrative or exploration.

2D开飞船~打陨石~我不知道游戏为了啥目的要打陨石~ okay~后期也有敌对空间站之类的~ 不过游戏效果还是不错的~音乐洗脑~ 画面勉强可以接受~操作也很太空~
I enjoyed zipping around and trying not to blow up.
This game is sooo boring. I literally couldn't play more than 30 seconds. The only reason i even have 12 minutes of play time is because you can't review a game if you don't have at least 5 minutes in a game. So, i stayed in the main menu until i got 5 minutes. I type this review only to tell you how boring this game is. Nothing else.
Oyun kendi içinde fena değilse de kontroller kısmı aşırı zorlayıcı. Mouse ile oynadığım için onu değerlendiriyorum: İşaretçinin olduğu yere doğru sol tıklarsanız ateş eder, sağ tıklarsanız o yöne doğru gider. Yani şimdi bakınca gittiğin yöne doğru ateş edeceksin veya mobil olamayacaksın. Bu şekil oynanış işi çok zevksiz hale getiriyor kanısındayım. Gamepad ile de çok fark edeceğini sanmam. Bu şekliyle sevecekler de vardır elbet ama çoğu kişiye hitap etmeyecektir.
This just seems like a very poor attempt at copying Beat Hazard. The graphics are terrible. The story is meh. The gameplay itself is just boring. 1/10
You can just sit there at the center of the screen and shoot everything, every single level. That's it. Level complete. Biggest resolution: 1280x960... I don't know why I have such games in my library. Freeware material, nothing more.
Not bad, but I simply can't image to play this for more than 1 hour. Slow, boring, EASY, little to no progression. Not recommended.
https://youtu.be/yX9EgqNUhC8 Even being upfront in declaring this is a game based on asteroids players would likely be better off playing asteroids than this take on the classic.
Игра атмосферный наследник аркады Asteroids. Хоть и простая по нынешним меркам, но довольно сбалансированная и не так быстро надоедает как новоделки. И да игра 2006 года, а не 2015.
Tried to complete all achievement but stockpile achievement seems to be bugged, because I tried everything and I never get it. Game is meh
