My first (completed) game and my first Ludum Dare. It's just a simple web game.
You work on an asteroid mining ore. Ore is sent off to a space station for refining. It is your job to fire the ore off into space using the magnetic launcher. Once fired the payload cannot be steered. It is on a ballistic trajectory that is influenced by the gravity of nearby planets. Your path is unstable and you will need to use gravity to your advantage.
Written in Javascript with P5.js. It was my first time using P5.js or doing more than dabbling with Javascript but I have used Processing before (which is why I chose P5.js).
My only goal was to have a completed game. I had more ideas for the game (which I may implement later) but I kept having to reduce the scope of the project to make it manageable in the time frame and with my limited knowledge and experience.
As a learning experience it has been invaluable and I now await your feedback with trepidation.
