Can you make a webGL build?
Lee Beeverauthor20 Apr 2020, 20:30
@gonzako Good idea. I've updated the itch.io page with a WebGL version.

Liked the idea, its like a slower variation of asteroid with a twist. I find controlling the ship somewhat hard but Its probably due to me not being used to this type of control making the game a tad bit on the harder side since manueverability is very important in the game.

I love your game !
The controls are great ! for me it's bit hard to not shoot the planet so i killed more people than the asteroids xD

Feel Free to test my game ! ;)

I like how the player is given the sort of choice of do I drop the evacues off first or do I fight off all of the aestroids. It was really, really fun. Top work! :)

I love the game! We have some similarities hehehe We struggled with the infinite movement so we've decided to use S to stop the ship, but I like the idea of "Asteroids" world where you appear on the other side of the screen :smile:
Lee Beeverauthor22 Apr 2020, 18:07
@laurari hah, I saw your ship and thought that looks familiar (love Kenney's stuff)! It's great how we can have similar ideas, yet they play so differently. Games are great!

Awesome space shooter game! I like how the 3D models are put in a 2D environment! Really fancy looking!

Greato Jobu! :smile:

This is a lovely game here. A fun take on Asteroids with great visuals, controls, music and gameplay. Fits in with the theme nicely as well. Well done!
Shubh23 Apr 2020, 13:12
@lee-beever yes just add some stars in the background the space is looking a bit empty but it is still nice like this

Nice relaxing game. I love the art style and sound effects. When you start moving fast the movement becomes uncontrollable for some reason. Keep up the good work!

It's clever to use the theme in this way. In the process of playing, I always think of my insignificance. Impressive!
The game has a high fault tolerance rate and is very gentle.

Very elegant submission! I enjoyed juggling multiple things, with both the asteroids, evacuees, and shield. Loved the idea of the shield by the way, a fun twist instead of just one-hit. The sounds, music, and aesthetics created a nice cohesive atmosphere. The screen-wrapping player was a nice touch! :thumbsup:

Very nice game. It took a bit to get used to the controls and how everything works, but after that it was a lot of fun.

Hey game is good overall, glad that someone added input that's not only WASD

I somehow managed to leave the screen and am not in the game screen anymore (was going to the left side of the screen and thrusted back to reach the middle, somehow my vessel disapeared when I did that.

I had fun for what it is :) simple, not too difficult, funny moments with physics, clear goal.... everything that is how it supposed to be! annnd hear I am learning from it! :D
Well done for your solid entry!
Lee Beeverauthor29 Apr 2020, 20:23
@fadoli03 ahh yeah. There appears to be a rare edge case where that can happen. I’ll have another look at the wrapping code.
