Nicely done!
Nice take on the classic asteroids and the visual style worked well. Music and sound were both really solid too. The challenge was good once. The second enemy type was a nice addition and the hypershape effect looked cool. Overall, solid jam entry
Nice game. I really like the music and the art but It's a bit too hard for me lol. Great job overall!
i loved the story aspect to it! mechanics were a little difficult for my skill level, but overall, good job on the submission!
Well done with the theme. I hated asteroids, and I was not a fan of your game mechanics. After my fifth death on level 1 I gave up. I'm not looking for a rage-inducing challenge in a game jam.
Ah, the first Asteroids game I've come across in the jam. I liked it and played it to the end! The second enemy type was cool, I'm totally borrowing that attack routine for my game (GDTV 2022). I wasn't prepared for the bullet hell on level 3 but brute forced it after a restart.
I reckon you got the difficulty spot on, possibly a bit hard for some. The first level takes quite a bit of care as frankly the ship is equipped with a peashooter, lol. It was interesting to play an Asteroids game where you can't stop moving. I'd probably suggest dropping the asteroid shards from 3 to 2 (at least on medium -> small). The hypershape shader was very cool and music well-chosen. Good job.
Difficult but fun!
a hard game still enjoyable
A nice twist on asteroids! Unfortunately my loved one died many many times for the reason MrMarkian mentioned below!
Great job on the submission 😎
Great game, the art style is fun and its a nice asteroids game, the main issue i had was getting bounced between the asteroids and loosing all my lives in a row, could do with timeout on the hits. Musics nice, liked the piano. great game.
That was fun! Well done!
Thanks for playing!
It's a fun game, the plane controls are a bit difficult but it makes the game challenging.
Thanks for playing! I wish I would've done a bit of playtesting before I had to put it up :)
Looks and sounds great and I appreciate the inclusion of an audio settings menu! Space bar felt a little bit clunky to me as the shoot action, might have been nice to include Left Mouse as well or something. Definitely a challenging game. Nice job!
That's a great idea! Funny story - my keyboard won't let me press Up, Left, and Space bar at the same time. So I also allowed the Control key as well. Mouse would've been nicer I think.
I'm struggling on level one ; - ;
Hahaha, this is why we need playtesting! Thanks for playing :)
