Asteroid Wars

Asteroid Wars

This game is from the old Ludum Dare platform. You can try viewing the original page on Web Archive
(may not load correctly).
This game is a kind of revival of good ol' Asteroids. It may not be the most original one, but we really like our shader job here.

The rounds are getting a bit longer each level, on the end you will be shown an upgrade screen where you can upgrade your weapons and shields.

Use arrow keys or WSAD for ship movement, Space to shoot, Left Ctrl to shoot special.

Download, unzip and double click or "java -jar ld36.jar"

Requires Java 8 and a graphics card supporting OpenGL 3.1+. The build has been tested on Windows and Linux, it won't probably work on Mac, but we will be very grateful if you try it anyway and post a log.

Uses LWJGL, JOAL + Paul's Soundsystem (terrible combo, but still easier than other options). Based on GabeNgine (https://bitbucket.org/datt/gabengine)
