Una versión reimaginada y bastante trabajada de Asteroids en la que la puntería al disparar se sustituye por tu finura a la hora de girar la nave con la manivela. Playdate es una consola que se crece cuando recurre a los ritmos y estéticas del arcade clásico para enseñarte a jugar con ella. En este sentido, creo que los mejores juegos hasta ahora han sido aquellos que han sabido presentar conceptos familiares pero con algún que otro elemento novedoso. Si pudiera predecir el futuro, diría Hyper Meteor es el ejemplo perfecto del tipo de juego que habremos de esperar en futuras remesas: no muy original, pero tampoco tan conservador como para que se sienta que has perdido tu tiempo comprando esta consola.

A reimagined and pretty well-made adaptation of Asteroids in which aiming and shooting has been replaced with twirling and ramming. Playdate is definitely a console that grows more confident when it confides itself to the rhythms and aesthetics of classic arcade titles. In this sense, I think the best games so far have been those that have been able to present familiar concepts with some twists. If I could predict its future, I'd say Hyper Meteor is the perfect example of the kind of games we should expect from now on---not too original, but not so conservative that might make you feel like you've wasted your time buying it.
