Cool game! I just set http://www.asteroids.com to redirect to your app store page for the next couple weeks.

While the gesture is noble, you may end up hurting him/her in the long run. If media start linking to your domain rather than to the appstore page, he'll have broken links and lost pagerank if/when you decide to do something else with the domain.

Having said that, what a great domain!

What a noble gesture. On an unrelated note, I have some domains parked of my own, and I realized this is a great way to use them - help drive traffic to apps. And perhaps if he makes enough money from the app, he'll buy the domain to make a landing page for it. Plus it's really great to see a domain thats not parked with those stupid ads.

I'm doing the same using this service. http://domains4good.org/

Now, developers.lv redirects to awesome page instead of doing nothing.

Just bought it and played a round by myself (wife promised to play a game with me later). Seems simple, but fun. I can immediately see it would be even more fun with 3 or 4 players rather than 2.

I haven't deeply explored the game yet, but having an AI and the possibility of unlocking additional weapons/upgrades would be exciting. Also, I'd love to have online multiplayer or team play (me and a friend could get online and play against another two-player team).

Hey just in case you've not noticed... apple is linking to http://www.codeherdstudios.com/AsteroidSmash/ from the game description, which is 404ing on your site (should be http://www.codeherdstudios.com/AsteroidSmash.html )

Thanks for the heads up. I've added a redirect to the proper page!

Plus if somehow Google thinks asteroids.com is a spammy domain (for whatever reason), it'll now be associated with his game.
