Uses SFML.Net 2.0 RC, Can be built for Mac or Linux(I believe), but I do not have either available.

When released, there was a missing file, this has been fixed.

When the screen turns black, you were killed, I did not add a "You Lose" screen.

2-Player Game. AI and networking support may come later.

Hmm... It won't run for me either. I'm getting an error about it not being able to find "CultLib ...".

Oops, I forgot to include a dll. It's working now.

Game doesn't seem to boot up on Windows 7 :(.

Managed to run it, but I think you really need an AI for reaching full potential. Great graphical style though, Really liked it.

I'm hoping to turn it into a full (Open Source) game and including AI after Ludum Dare.

I like this game a lot - but it's difficult to play as there is only one of me - although not impossible - it would be good as a multiplayer network game where you took turns to play each part. It did a weird thing when I died too - just blacked out. Good job though :) - Ran on Win 8 just fine for me. Do you need to "Run as admin"?

I wish you did not have to control the ship

filtoid: No, I didn't get a chance to add an ending screen :P. I've never done anything network-y before, but maybe I'll give it a try.

Thanks.

Nice, the graphics are nice and the audio is nice, but I think this would be funner if it was only the one player(Launching asteroids).

Had a hard time playing a 2P game by myself, but it is a fun concept. One criticism, I didn't think the music fit the game at all. Also, I don't think this fits the theme too well -- maybe if you only controlled the asteroids rather than both sides.

Great concept, I player with my boyfriend and it was really fun!!! I wish the spaceship could be a bit faster >.<

Also, please continue developing this game, I would love to see a post-jam version :)

Though you didn't implemented the AI part -- I think it also opens up a new idea though. Because asymmetric gameplay in this kind of small scale 2P games is actually quite rare I think.
Joozey18 Dec 2012, 20:21
Original concept! I like that. Ending/restart panel would have been nice as well as an AI, as mentioned here before. Good gametype choice, just complicated enough for 48 hours.

arch.jslin: It's only rare because it's poor design. Originally this game was intended to be single player only, and I only added controls to the ship for testing purposes.

Joozey: Think I can get away with updating it to have an ending screen? :P

Thanks!

Definitely needs AI :) Has promise though.

I feel like it would be more fair if I had two players on hand, so all I can do is play one hand against the other. Would be great if the only thing you controlled were the asteroids, I think.

Can't run on WinXP, I fear this may be a 64-bit app and XP is 32..
