Nice concept and visuals but it's slightly unclear how you keep the values down.

Developer(+1)

Thank you!
You keep the BORED value down by having as much asteroids on screen as possible.
You keep RAM down by going near the RAM Broom.
Asteroids temporarily occupie some RAM.

RAM broom is really funny :D My op strat - drop 3 asteroids, get the broom, drop 3 asteroids, broom, repeat.

Here is my playtest:

Thank you soo much for the feedback, I love that you made a video, where I can see the learning curve of a new player.

This is very neat. Though it took me a while to figure out that I need to throw the asteroids, lol.

My Highscore: 1,692 points!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed,
I know that I didn't make the controls, and the game loop clear enough, that's a common feedback. Have you read the game page? Do you know about the other game mechanics? (Movement, Dashing, Effect of Multiple Asteroids)

very cool concept and artstyle, one of my favorite games yet. Great job man!

Developer

Thank you so much!

Cool concept

It's a fun little game, as an avid asteroids enjoyer it was fun throwing the rocks around for lil Timmy.

The first person perspective is an interesting choice, it's cool, but I feel it would work better as a 2D game unless the first person perspective was integrated more with the gameplay.

The visuals are really clean, I like the style.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback. I realised that 2D would fit more, when I gave it to my friends for playtesting, but it was too late. I think it's still an improvement over what I usually make :D

Thank you!

This game looked really really good. It was very creative and thought out yet simple. It was a little difficult and it was hard for me to understand what to do for a while, but once I got a hang of it, I really found some good enjoyment from it. Great game!

Developer

Glad you had a fun experience!
Yeah, I explained everything as clearly as I could on the game page, it's a bummer, that most people just download it from here and don't read it.

my approach has always been to play the game first, and then go and read it to see if im missing anything because I think its really valuable feedback for the developer to know how easy/ hard their game is to pick up, so I did eventually look at the page and figure it out :)

Wow, this is a really unique game

I've never try a game with this style...

it's nice to play!

Developer

Thanks!
