Nice game! The movement is a bit weird, but for a simple game, it's pretty neat!

I really appreciate the honesty with your self, and setting and sticking to a scope. I know after only a few projects, and I'm sure veterans can attest, that scope creep is one of the biggest obstacles to overcome. But you definitely shipped a full package in the jam timeframe, and you did a perfect job recreating a classic with a twist to fit the theme! Well done, and keep up the good work!

I liked the game, however aiming was rather difficult. Other than that, good job!

Cool visuals, and I appreciate having multiple difficulty modes, and the way the music speeds up as you play.

For constructive criticism, the controls / movement felt a little sluggish.  Personally, I'd make the player accelerate to max speed about 3-5 times faster. Some more feedback when the player dies (screenshake, particles, sound effects etc.) would also improve game feel.

Nicely put together. Love the neon color palette. The ship handled really well but a bit slow on the acceleration compared to the turn.

The sound really gives the nostalgia haha!

Loved the game!

The asteroid splitting was satisfying

Nice game! cool visuals and the sound gives a retro arcade vibe, keep it up!

Thanks! I started writing a more complicated sound track, but then I watched a video with the original asteroids being played and decided to replicate the original arcade music (with a twist).

Good idea with the spliting asteroids. But more responsive controls would be nice.

the song kinda anoy me a bit and the player is kinda small, but overall, good gameplay

Nice game!!! Visuals are very nice . Bit hard to control. Good job!!!

Good stuff. The visuals are very pretty. I feel the movement could be more empowering for the user, especially for a game about dodging. Overall, well done and good job on submitting.

Nice! Maybe make the player a bit larger, it was really easy to lose orientation because I couldn't keep my eyes on the player.

Submitted

I like it. It was a bit hard to steer, but that made it just more chaotic. Nice.

Awesome take on a classic game. My only criticism was that the music would clip each time it looped. But apart from that, a very nice game!

Developer(+1)

Possibly the number one thing that bugs me! Hah. Yeah, I should have taken the 5 minutes it would have taken me to make the music in Ableton instead of Bosca Ceoil.

Amazing game !! Enjoyed playing :]

Only real issue was that the ship felt a bit too slippery but it in a way adds to the theme with the hard controls causing more chaos and disorder.

Developer(+1)

Completely intentional. They should make you panic as things start getting busy. Thanks for playing :D

I could see where you were headed with this. Although, I struggled a lot with the controls. Could just be me, though. Great job on creating this :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! It's asteroids, it's gotta be slightly annoying to be true to form.

Submitted(+1)

I agree. Controls can be edited and it will be a great game!

Developer

Thanks! Can you explain what you'd like to see changed?

Submitted

Maybe try making the controls faster and make it easier to aim
