Butterscotch Shenanigans games always feel like they're made with love.

Quadropus Rampage and Towelfight 2: The Monocle of Destiny are big silly games that are clearly put together by people who love gaming.

And Roid Rage is no different. Well, it's a bit different. That's because it's a tiny arcade blast of asteroid-dodging fury. Still, that passion seeps through every pore.

Roid Rage is the first in a series of "Butterscotch Minis" that the team is making on the side while crafting its next biggie, Crashlands.

Roid Rage involves your leading a spaceship through an asteroid field and grabbing glowing clouds of "juice".

Roid Rage is out on the Google Play Store right now, and won't cost you a penny.
