We have completed our 8th Ludum Dare entry, The Asteroids I Call Home.
Using your super powered cat spacesuit, bash through those that threaten your home.
Mining ships have invading your peaceful asteroid sanctuary. Defend your home the only way you know how: violently bashing through spaceships.
Fly at highspeeds with the help of your jet pack and the gravitational pull of nearby asteroids.
Stop the minors by breaking their chains, ships and defense droids.
Controls:
Keyboard ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WASD/Arrow Keys - Move Space Bar - Jump P - Pause M - Mute ESC - Quit Game/Return to previous menu R - Quick restart from gameover/highscore page Scroll wheel - Zooming in and out during gameplay
XBOX 360 Controller (Windows) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Left Analog Stick - Move A - Jump Start - Pause Mute - Y Back - Quit/Return to previous menu X - Quick restart from gameover/highscore page
Movement is very fun, but escaping enemy fire is pretty much impossible because of how fast you move. Overall pretty frantic and fun game. I especially like the main menu.
Cool! I ended up staring at the minimap the entire time, so I could see far enough to head-butt the ships.

Played with a xbox controller and I was pleased with the controls. Well used the theme also. However, the one hit kills were too much because I could die from a random laser while flying fast.
I would have liked an ability with a cooldown to boost my velocity high enough to destroy a ship. It would give you something to manage besides your direction and provide a good way to get going again if you get stopped. (Could use space?)
Beautiful particle effect work and character. Maybe use smoothing groups on the planets? That stood out to me.
Hi there. Fun jetpac. Like the sounds and the music. Opened some alien/robot crates and got zapped. Feels like a physics toy so far, rather than a game. Good job!
Really impressive graphics, and flying around on the jetpack "felt" nice!
Controls were definitely frustrating, especially needing to hit an arbitrary speed in order to break stuff. Lasers seemed pretty arbitrary insta-death too.
Solid implementation. Funny idea. The sound is cool, but the music a bit boring. It is pretty random if you are hit by the enemy since it is nearly impossible to dodge the fast shoots with the slow control. Well done. I enjoyed it.
Nice to play. Good job! We were talking about this kind of stuff too, but we changed at last because we thought it was too difficult... Glad to see someone did it!
