Finally I got another chance to submit a LD48 game. Woo-hoo!
My first game in 3D actually - but still heavily inspired by the 90s.

You're a space pilot on an important mission, which takes you through an asteroid field!

The game works best with a gamepad, but you can also use your mouse (even though controls are a bit clunky with it).

Hope you enjoy :)

Note: Best played with the Galaxy Rangers theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hSMzrWZCAE

If I could give six stars for graphics, I would. Unbelievable. How did you make this in 48 hours?!

Really nice game. Simple concept and good graphics.

Very nice! The overall art style is nice an consistent, the way the ship handling and crosshair feels is solid.

Still, I find the theme is not being used to it's full potential.

This game is awesome!, I cannot belive you made it in just 48 hours.
It reminds me of starfox.
I think that the game would have been even better if you had implemented the laser sound.

Reminds me of StarFox, which is awesome. Overall solid entry, wish the theme had been used bit more though. Portals to swap between dimensions for example.

The game is fun but the gameplay is a bit hard sometimes

Very cool game. Like the double crosshair idea, as it adds a sense of depth perception. Good throwback to the nineties. Theme was hinted at but not fully realized, but it didn't detract from the fun. A more difficult mode would be welcome. Can't give six stars because of no barrel roll.

Quite fun!
It's kinda difficult to aim properly because you must keep moving the mouse to aim anywhere other than the center of the screen, but once you get the hang of it it's fine. And nice graphics also :)

@blindfox: I know! The lack of barrel roll is alarming :P
Actually I ran into some problems while exporting, which took away the hours I reserved for adding it (and sfx). Still glad you enjoyed it :)

And thanks for the feedback everyone \o/

The fact that people can make games like this in 48 hours amazes me. I love the game play and I love the graphics. You did a fantastic job with this!

Hi there. Very nice looking game. Asteroid field went on a bit long I thought - but then I was playing with mouse.
Miziziziz27 Aug 2014, 01:14
Star fox ;)
The graphics were really nice and old schooly.
my complaint is that the game is too easy: shooting was pretty uneccessary most of the time.
Also, stoy-wise, why didn't he just slow down?
"I'm the last chance for my planet? Better speed through this asteroid belt" ;)

Nice! Mouse controls could be a bit less sensitive and it could use some sound, but besides that really cool game. Had a lot of 90's flair.
leafarz30 Aug 2014, 02:07
nice visuals you got here!
pretty simple game but it was still awesome! i also liked what you did with the crosshairs. the sensitivity was a little high for me though but still had fun.
good job!

Interesting control scheme with the mouse.
Doesn't feel like there is much to it but it is a good start.
The graphics are great. Some sound would greatly improve it though.

This is great! Very reminiscent of Lylat Wars :) Shame I couldn't press Z or R twice.
