This is an interesting take on asteroids. You make good use of the theme and it was certainly more fun than the couple times I played the original asteroids. It is a little on the easy side, though.

Everything feels solid and it definitely gets harder as you get more ships! It could use just a bit more remixing, maybe like some different colors or ways to shoot.

I was impressed with how this controlled, it really looks, plays and sounds like asteroids. I didn't last very long though!

This game is clearly really well constructed and polished. Very balanced. Quite addicting. The visuals are dead on and the sound does exactly what it needs to. My high score was 2450 I think. Good job!

A cool re-imagining of asteroids by combining it with a few tower defence mechanics. I found the controls to be a bit awkward and floaty but it could just be me.

I love the graphics style and the games roots in asteroids and I'm very glad to see you picked an appropriate font for your style! Good Work!

When I'll drive a space ship in a few years time, this game will help me remember not to overload it because then piloting it is impossible :) Quite funny.

A good reinterpretation of the arcade game with a good integration of the theme. When i my ship become fat i was like "aaah let me get those white sphere" but was just turning around it trying to go straight, juicy.

It's a good remake of the classic, I liked it but I felt a bit easy for my taste. Anyway, good use of the theme using the size of the ship and the obstacles to remove some mobility, but giving something good in reward.

I am a space peacock now! Nicely done asteroids game. It gets really hard to control your ship when you get a lot of modules attached to your tail, but warping mechanic really helps.

I'm wondering if I missed something here cause I actually found the game easier the more modules I had. The modules protected me from the asteroids. Once I had enough I just sat in one place spinning round in a circle while constantly shooting bullets, using the modules as a shield. I only moved to get some more modules.

I agree others saying it doesn't align well with the theme, it also got easier for me when I had more modules, and staying put + rotating to shoot instead of moving I did better. I enjoyed it to some extent then I realized it just became a patience game, because I'm not losing it anytime soon, I committed suicide. :) Good effort!

I had a hard time moving that thing, but it got an old-school vibe, it's well executed and i would love more content !

@brainoid @akai-0okami sorry, it's a question of balance. I scared that game can be too hard and i balanced it as possible as I can in short gamejam time.

This was quite fun to play, though ended up being more productive to stay still and spin shooting, rather than moving around. It was a good basis, just think some fine tuning and a bit more consideration of how the game will be played will improve your next entry! Good job!

I'm not quite sure about the purpose of the warp engine, but overall I really liked it!

This was completely satisfying. It's just about impossible do die (I didn't die, and quit playing after a few minutes because I'd gotten the point of the game by that time so I don't know if it's literally impossible to die or not, but it was very fun.)
