A game made for Ludum Dare 39. It's a space shooter, where you're in a ship and have to harvest amethyst gems from asteroids in order to power your ship, which is constantly losing power. Avoid getting hit, or you will lose more power!
Objective
Your ship is on a limited power supply, powered by Amethyst, which may be found in floating asteroids. Destroy the asteroids to find Amethyst gems to power your ship for as long as possible! Keep in mind, shooting, movement and getting hit by asteroids all deplete your ship's power.
Controls
WASD - Movement
SPACE - Shoot
Developer Notes
This is the first game jam I've participated in, and therefore I wasn't fully prepared. The game lacks a lot of features due to time constraints, and I wasn't able to add background music as Incompetech was down.
Pros: - Art is well done and fits with game quite well, especially the parallax effect is done well. - The game is simple and easy to understand allowing the player to get right into it.
Cons: - Add a high-score indicator so there is something to beat for replay value. - Maybe add some enemies as the game-play can feel quite repetitive after playing for 2 Minute+ - Add some background music or ambient noise so it isn't just SFX.
Conclusion: The game has a solid foundation but could use a little tweaking and improving to reach its full potential, but never the less a good submission!
I always loved asteroid shooters :) Everything was working together nicely, I liked the graphics, especially the ship and the starfield. The control is a bit wierd though... or at least I was expecting to rotate the ship with A and D, and not to move it left and right. Nice job on sticking with the theme. Keep it up! :)
