The game is great but there is something that caught my attention...
The shots sync perfectly with the beats of the music. It's a super satisfying auditive experience.
Seriously. I feel like playing Crypt of the Necrodancer. I love it.

How much time was taken?
No. In total I ended up going about 10 minutes over.
Use of theme?
Chain Reaction:
- Asteroids can bump into one another and break resulting in chaotic action.
- The player can collect resources to upgrade their ship creating a positive feedback loop where by each successful run they become more powerful.
Negative Feedback Loop:
- As the player is more successful in reaching to goal more and stronger asteroids begin to spawn and increase the difficulty.
- Failing closer to the goal is a more drastic setback then failing far from it.
- The cost of upgrades rises exponentially. This way, The more powerful your ship has become the more difficulty it becomes to gain more power.
Novel Twist on a Classic Game:
- Asteroids are able to hit each other.
- There are a few different types of asteroids
- Upgrades
- A goal to reach
Use of diversifiers?
Art:
- I edited the theme of my game page using game assets.
Design:
- Make a game that uses randomness!
Randomness is at core of Hyper Drone's asteroid spawning system. Asteroids are spawned in random locations within a certain region around the player with random but slightly biased velocities that make them appear on screen more often.
Meta:
- Make a game in a genre you've never made a game in before!
New genre: Multi-directional shooter
- Make a game with a main menu! In a game jam! WOW!!
It's not much but it's there.
Did you have fun?
Definitely
