Bounds of Space is an Asteroids clone on steroids. Pick one of three classes of space ships and battle endless waves of asteroids. Since the game is set in one screen, if you fly out of bounds - you're dead.
Plenty of power ups and upgrades for Health and Shields to keep the game going and going! Once you're certain you got the best score - submit to the online leaderboard and see how you stack up!
The game was built in Construct 2, with content built in Construct 2, Photoshop CC, and Reaper DAW. SFX provided by BFXR.net. The online leaderboard was built using C2's AJAX functionality with a backend written in Laravel 4/PHP5 and MySQL.
CONTROLS WASD or ARROWS - move your ship MOUSE - aim your ship LEFT MOUSE - hold or click to fire your weapon ESC - Pause
POWER UPS Rapid Fire - increases the rate of fire by 20% Double Shot - every shot fires double the projectiles Burst Shot - fires 5 projectiles in a burst Speed Boost - increases speed by 15%
Thanks for playing! Had a blast building this one.
davient - Thanks for the comment. I've come to realize that the version live at the URL I provided is not the version depicted in the screenshots. It includes sounds! I'll update later on today - hopefully it doesn't impact the rules.
Okay, I had the source in Google Drive so I've reuploaded the game at work. If you've played before give your cache a clear and open and reload the URLs provided.
Love the lighting effects! Splitting the game into "levels" might give more of a feeling of progress. The gameplay is really smooth but the game starts to feel same-y after a bit.
Pretty cool progression in this and the different ship classes are nice. The Sentinel missile firing has a really good feel to it, especially once I got 'x2' firing...great work!
I didn't get the "on steroids" part, it just felt like a pretty generic asteroids clone. I really think you need to screen wrapping to push the asteroids feel. I thought it was a solid game but I got bored after a few minutes and crashed my ship on purpose. Really nice having online leaderboards!
great fun here. Can't beat the classics, but a little bit of innovation would've been nice. Great controls, great sound, great effort overall. nice work
Fun little Asteroids clone - it was a little too easy, I think. It felt like my score was limited by my stamina, not necessarily by my skill. Still, I enjoyed the experience. =)
Simple, but cool game. The different classes add some extra fun. I did notice that it starting lagging a bit on my machine when there were lots of asteroids, but that could just be me.
