Hello!
This is my entry for LD42 for the theme "Running out of space". It's based loosely on Asteroids and follows the story of Brian, a man who has escaped his own rapidly collapsing universe in search of a new one before everything is crushed into nothingness. He's, quite literally, running out of Space.
Guide Brian to the wormhole and into a new parallel universe before his own collapses in on itself!
Controls:
- WASD or arrow keys to move
- Space or click to shoot
- ESC to pause/go to main menu
Game made in 48 hours for the Compo using:
- Unity 2017.something
- Paint.net
- Audacity
- Ableton Live 9 Suite
- VS Code
~~I don't currently have a WebGL build available due to a Unity bug (which I spent 3 hours trying to sort out instead of polishing the game grr) but there is a downloadable windows binary. If I get WebGL working I'll change the itch.io to a web player version.~~
I have a WebGL build now!
Thoughts:
- Had a bit more free time this time round for Ludum Dare so I feel like the result is slightly better than previous ones
- Wasted a good deal of time on computer issues instead of the game so need to make sure I've got everything set up and working before I start next time
- Actually finished most of the game on the Saturday so just spent all of Sunday improving and polishing
- Still a lot that could be improved-the randomness of the levels can cause a few problems as some levels are disproportionately difficult
Ideas for improvements would be very much appreciated :)
Hope you enjoy it!
