  The Audio is a real pain in the ASS. Depending on individual hardware browsers etc the audio is rendered slightly differently. This is unfortunately due to the way browsers process sound. If anyone can guide me to anything that may help Id be grateful. On ios devices the audio wont play at all unless I remove the references to m4a files from the offline.appcache file on the server. unfortunately as this then means the audio is streamed on these devices a internet connection is required and the game cant be run as a web app.

  I have also posted a new version which takes the original a bit further with 7 power ups and severely ramping up difficulty. the address of the original is

  and the UPDATED GAMEPLAY version

  Node Version? If you tell me how to do it No problem. I'm happy to add controller support but I don't have one to try. Oh actually can I use a ps4 controller on a usb cable?

  PS one last thing Im also working on a copy of SPACE INVADERS. Its very early days at the moment but you can try it here:

  Controls are Left, Right Arrows and Space. (This is subject to change)

  Test Keys are Hold Q to pause invader movement. Makes it easy to shoot out invaders to a pattern of your choice.

  The A key resets bases. R resets invaders back to start.

  I have to agree. Makes game coding fun not a chore. Though ios devices cause headaches. especially with sound.

  Do you mean button controls for a tablet or tilting. A little more detail on what you want and what the problem was would be helpful?

  This is my first game effort of the original Atari Asteroids.

  Though there are loads of asteroids clones none seem to capture the SPIRIT of the original!

  I have made the game as close to the original as I can and it should work in IE, Chrome, Firefox (Though on some systems it does not seem to work correctly in Firefox) and Safari. Also on IOS and Android for phone and tablet using touch controls.

  Took around a week to do the biggest challenges being the sound (especially on ios) and finding a good control scheme for phone and Tablet.

  Constructive comments welcome as well as info on what browsers it works on or not as the case may be.

  PS To get ios devices to play the sound I had to remove the .m4a caching from the offline.appcache so the audio is streamed instead and will require an internet connection for the audio to work on some systems.
