Is "Astro War" a hack of Astroblast?

It seems like a pretty innovative side scrolling shooter at first, but it becomes apparant quick that you're actually playing a flipped to the side version of "Astroblast". Is this a hack?

Nope.

I don't think it shares anything with Astroblast. It's using totally different screen orientation to begin with. It's a very decent game but I'm not quite sure if it's only a beta or final release. More or less, this is a game that could be tweaked to something big.
