Great game but i dont know what it is related to the theme, but great grahics and controls are responsive, good job!

Submitted

Sadly it doesn't really relate to the theme as others have pointed out. But I'll ignore that for the rest of this comment.

Good

  • Nice sound effects in the game
  • Variety of different asteroids to hit
  • Actually pretty fun once I got the hang of the controls

Could improve

  • More music? Like in the menu and while playing
  • The controls are a bit weird but maybe I just wasn't very good at using them. I ended up just going for coins because it felt too risky to try and shoot the asteroids
  • I often died when hitting the blue asteroid because it split directly towards me, maybe make it split 90 degrees away from the direction that my bullet came from? rather than being random

Overall it is a fun game with some issues I've mentioned above. Good job :D

Very fun game! Similar to Asteroids, but I like the change in controls with toggle to start/stop moving. Also a nice addition of different types of asteroid objects and the coins and fuel. Check out my game when you have a chance. Thanks!

Submitted

pretty nice game.

It doesn't really fit the theme in my opinion tho.

Submitted

I would have preferred it to control more like asteroids, because it feels weird to be able to stop immediately in a space themed game. I liked how destroying the grey asteroid destroyed all the asteroids and having coins to collect as that added a level of strategy.

Submitted

Fun game but it dont fit theme in any way so that sucs. Also shooting felt weird so i just avoided asteroids

Submitted

boi or girl this game brings back memories !!!!

respect!!!

Hi, the game is a good start and funny.. couple of suggestions.. maybe do a parallax effect on the background.. move some starts in different speed. 

Also when you stop the ship doesn't move.. you should keep moving it slowly on the direction in which you where going (you are in the space)..

My game is a casual game if you wanna rate is https://misterm.itch.io/mixtape-match , Thanks

Cool game! I like the coins, as it makes you want to move around on the screen

Submitted

Not sure how this game fits the theme

Submitted

The game was fun. Graphics and sound were cool. I am however usure of how the theme was incorpirated. 

Submitted

Since I never played the arcade game and the 'asteroids' looked more like some kind of precious material I though I had to collect them.

Submitted

Like song on score screen!

Submitted

I was always bad at "Asteroids", ... here too, haha. Great Job !.

Submitted

Great game man, very engaging. This is my first time I uploaded a game so I was very unaware of resolutions etc. Will definitely improve next time, thanks for the feedback. :)

Submitted

Was nice that it was in browser, but the screen size was set so that the score did not appear on screen.

Developer

Yeah man, it was my first time uploading any game so I was not aware of the resolution issues. Will check out your game.
