Rockjack

A modern reimagining of Asteroids, with updated user interface, physics, and gameplay. In contrast to the traditional Asteroids, and nearly all of the subsequent clones and derivatives, the player is always centered on the screen in Rockjack. The player is cast as a gig worker in the far future, tasked with mining asteroids for cash. Alien saucers are also interested in these asteroids and will try to stop the player, but if the player can defeat the aliens, their ships will drop powerups which will make the player's ship more capable.
