Nice take on Asteroids! I like the gradual ramp up in difficulty, and the music was great. I'm going to echo other commenters that some SFX would have really helped, particularly when firing. I noticed things seemed to flicker on and off screen sometimes, and sometimes asteroids or aliens would spawn suddenly in the middle of the space, which felt unfair. Also, at first I was confused when I got hit, because my ship just disappeared for a bit. Some additional FX there would be a big help. Finally the counter for remaining lives on the left seemed like it was on a lower layer than the obstacles and was often obscured. But it feels like a pretty complete game otherwise, and I had fun!

Developer

Thanks for playing and the feedback! Glad you liked it :) Definitely want those feel bad moments outta there so I’ll take a look into the spawn system again.

I like the artwork. Agree with other post in some sound effects would good to throw in, but worry not, i still heard the pew pew and engine trust sounds of the Asteroids arcade in my head.

Developer (1 edit)

pew pew, vrooom lol. Thank you! Will be making a pass using everyone's suggestions after the ratings, adding additional sfx/art/boss level. Excited to get started :)

Nice take on Asteroids.  The music was nice.   Some sound effects would make a huge boost in my opinion.

Developer(+1)

I agree, definitely going to make a pass at it once the ratings finish up. Looking out for a good asset pack that meshes well with Abstraction's music.

I was very happy when I saw there were power ups so I could just blast everything.
I noticed that sometimes the little blue aliens would spawn directly on me so you might want to add a safeguard for that.
I lost after the entire screen got swarmed lol.
Pretty fun game !

Developer

woah yea I’ll have to check on that lol was it during the endless mode?

Submitted(+1)

It was around 300 score I think (near the top right of the screen)

Developer

Alrighty, I’ll see if I can’t obliterate that stink bug

Asteroids with a little narrative progression and power-ups is very fun and well-done!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! :)

Thank you everyone 😭

I love the narrative. 

Developer(+1)

Thank you! do my best to try to emulate games with awesome stories, I just love any game with a good story :)

Love the hand drawn everything!

Great pacing as well, adding in new types and powerup as you go!
love to see what's next

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Hope to keep the hand-drawn going with all the games I make, its pretty fun watching the doodles move. Thinking Super Mario Bros (BUT in Space) might be the next move :)

Thought it was a bit easy... until it went into full-on bullet hell mode. The game ended up crashing on me but I still had a blast!

Developer(+1)

I might have figured out the problem making it crash or at least get more enemies on the screen. Thank you for playing! 

Submitted(+1)

That's wonderful! I'd be happy to play through the whole thing and see how long I last! Looking forward to it!

Oh man, that endless mode is a blast! Get very hectic very fast. Love the hand drawn art!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! The endless mode was so fun to make and add, just a nudge on some numbers and 10+ mobs could spawn at once, crashed a few times myself in debugging lol. Planning to take a few art classes so hopefully the art only gets better.

Nice Asteroids clone! I was hoping for some zero-gravity sliding and drifting about, but soon got the hang of your version of the controls. I liked the addition of extra bad guys to take out along with just the normal asteroids. Music was nice, and default volume choice was good. And just when I was thinking, “This could use some power ups-” Boom, one appeared! Nice. :D

With how many bogies start showing up, maybe skipping on the slide-y space physics was a better choice. 😅

Developer(+1)

Yea I was between the slide-y physics for a bit, think its alright for now, perhaps in the next game I can revisit it.  I wish I had a clip of the mobs when I first was making them, they would spazz out zooming in zig zagging at mach 10, lets just say my math was waaay wrong lol. Thank you for playing! Also please take a peek at some of the music from Abstraction, the dude rocks, all his music is perfect.

Sounds like a bonus level…
