How does your game fit the theme?
The spaceship can't be controlled.
Did your team create the art for this game during the 48 hour time slot?
We created all art during the game jam
Did your team create the audio for this game during the 48 hour time slot?
We used pre-existing audio
You shoot to move and attack with only-one button.
You have only-one bullet.
You can't control the direction of the ship directly, but you can also shoot to spin, so not all control is lost.
You can't aim, but aim isn't all of the game since you can still guide the missile.
Nice graphics etc, well made complete game.
Only wished the leaderboard is online
That is a great idea in my opinion. Maybe you could make the service for people in general (beside just for yourself), so that other people can easily add leaderboards to their game, just an idea :p I think it could be pretty awesome to have an online leaderboard for gamejam games, so in my eyes it is worth it.
You could probably take some precautions to deal with the grievers.
You could take a look at this site, looks like something we're looking for http://dreamlo.com/developer
This was awesome! I loved the minimalist art style and sounds, I had a lot of fun! Great job!
Its quite fun once you get the hang of it! The artwork is neat, the bouncy planets are funny, only thing I would say is that you can't see your ship when you're controlling the missile so when you die you don't see how you get attacked.
Really nice effects on the rockets. I enjoyed my time with this game. 😃
Great stuff ) I really like all the mechanics. I like how you move the ship by shooting, it's not apparent in the beginning but when I realised it it made it much more strategic. I would've made so that you can collect health by hitting it with the rocket too. Right now, rocket just gets stuck in it neither exploding nor collecting it. I also think that clicking to destroy the rocket is a bit redundant since at that time you can't control it anyway so why not explode it automatically. Beside this two things it was a very fun game for me.
Great Work! It reminded me a bit of those old timey arcade spaceship shooters. Really liked the twist that you're only in controll of the rockets.
Had a lot of fun playing! Was a little unsure about 'shooting rockets determines player movement' because I'd seen it a lot during the jam, but by having the player rotating before firing the rocket and all the debris the spaceship can bounce off makes it a lot more interesting! was very funny firing a rocket, coming back and then seeing my ship spinning wildly! It wasn't very clear to me why / when my rocket would slow to a stop but otherwise very easy to pick up and play and have a blast doing it!
Great to hear you had fun playing :) Also good to hear that you think the mechanics of the shooting and bouncing were interesting. The rocket isn't supposed to be slowed down. After a certain time of controlling the rocket the fuel of the rocket runs out and then you won't be able to steer it anymore, the player is then able to destroy the rocket manually. This is done to prevent the player from being stuck in controlling the rocket for too long.
Thank you! The teamwork was great imo. Everything went smooth throughout the 48 hours. We usually agreed pretty fast or did great suggestions to ideas.
Just an overview on how it went time wise:
Sunday 21:00-00:30 concepting and working out ideas, 00:30-01:30 player movement basics and enemy movement basics. Around this time we went to bed until 09:00 ish, we made (almost) everything on saturday. Went to bed 00:30 ish and again wake up around 09:00. Sunday was just the UI, playtest for any glitches and some tweaks for graphics(particles mostly).
I loved the Ui, the gameplay and the art. Huge respect for pulling that of!
Haha fun and goofy! Its outer space rocket bumper cars. I really enjoyed shooting around, and I really like how I have to explode something with the rocket (or wait a long time) before I can shoot another. Very much contributes to the "out of control" sense. I had trouble sometimes understanding why my ship was moving, it seemed like it occasionally changed directions when I hadn't bumped into anything or shot a rocket. Nice work, and nice 3d art too!
Thank you for the feedback! A small explanation why you might suddenly move directions if you didn't do anything. The game tries to have all the objects in the same area, so if you move a bit too far of it pulls you back, the force can go quite high the further you go out of that area. Think of it as a massive magnet to the middle of the scene.
What a great take on Asteroids! I like how the rockets all interact with each other, felt like the rockets could have a *bit* tighter controls on them but that's part of the point! Loved the low poly assets too!
