Like Asteroids, but awesome! This game was created when there were two game jams going on at the same time with the same theme of “Failure is Progress”. So, I was looking around at opengameart, which I highly suggest as a wonderful tool for game assets, and found featured a number of pixel art spaceships and their matching bullets (in public domain). That’s when I had the idea to recreate the classic arcade game Asteroids while incorporating the theme of the game jam, so when you die you get a brand-new spaceship. I’ve always loved classic arcade games, so I was really inspired by just wanting to remake asteroids with all these cool spaceships I found. I pulled an all-nighter just working for like 9 hours straight on this game and finished it off in one go. Lots of neocrey’s music is also available for free use with attribution and I just love featuring awesome music to play with. I hope you enjoy this new twist on the classic!
