i would have liked to see a short distance projection line or something, just to line up the first half a screen. Otherwise, it was an amusing challenge, and quite pretty. Well done.

Nice idea. was fun to play!

granor 2013-12-16 17:56

Fun to play, although it took me some time to understand that I "brake" using S and not accelerating in the different direction.

kcpunk666 2013-12-16 19:45

I liked it a lot. good job!

doens't want to run on my computer for some reason, keeps pausing for a long period

pixelulsar 2013-12-17 00:32

I enjoyed it, nice idea.

Challenging yet soothing, quite an atmosphere.

It was good, but was a little difficult to figure out. It would have been nice to have a guide or something when shooting.

Wooo! Asteroids! The middle box is irritating as hell.

sean-noonan 2013-12-17 04:04

Nice little challenge, also somewhat impressive that it was done under the constraints of the free version of Construct.

aarongordon 2013-12-17 23:27

Great concept. Very challenging. I didn't realize you could move until i was boxed in by other ships! Some of the layouts felt a bit random as well, like i just fired and hoped (maybe that's just me). Overall, very nice!

scoobyben 2013-12-18 12:08

Neat take on the theme, but I'm not very good at it - I'm much better at shooting myself than all the asteroids

bitserum 2013-12-18 12:11

Nice twist on the classic asteroids! Fun and Challenging

nelien 2013-12-19 10:15

That was fun! But very hard. Didn't really like that the controls were so hard to manage, there was enough challenge in figuring out the shot trajectory :). But great polished minigame here! One of the better ones.

sam1373 2013-12-19 19:38

Nice concept, but it could be much more fun with precise controls and instant restart.

otheralexy 2013-12-19 19:52

Very good puzzle. A bit short.

alexrose 2013-12-19 20:13

Dude, awesome.

When I booted it up I was expecting a shitty asteroids game. As soon as I realised I only had one bullet I literally out loud (I'm talking to someone on skype as I'm playing) "Oh my god this is awesoooome".

I think the controls could be tighter, but well done for actually sticking to the theme. I've played so many "You only get one life" games that this is so refreshing.

I'm not great at it though, but I still enjoy it.

andrew-wagoner30 2013-12-19 20:16

nice little puzzles

glovecat 2013-12-19 22:25

I'm agree with that "short distance projection line". I was confused about where the bullet goes. That the only one negative point for me, the rest, amazing and fun!

peacegiverman 2013-12-19 22:38

Hey guys, if you happen to return here, thanks for the feedback! :)

So far I've learned that an aiming line would be good, that some people miss the controls and that I should guide them better through the game.

Thanks again, folks! You're making this a great first Ludum Dare :)

jimmypaulin 2013-12-20 00:19

smooth animation, like the glow very much. I shot myself and that was pretty amusing too! some sounds would have been cool - afxr is pretty good tool…. or some music. It was calming and contemplative, well done for finishing

landosystems 2013-12-20 02:25

Really nice game, loved the feel and logic of the puzzles. Some were just crazy, i'll shoot at this angle and hope something good happens, but all around a solid game.

cakencode 2013-12-20 02:26

A very cool take on the classic asteroids game, really love the geometry wars look too!

joao-kucera 2013-12-20 02:27

Congrats. Very good to play.

coblynau 2013-12-20 09:23

Spot on with the sound effects. Great gameplay and twist on a classic idea, I really enjoyed playing this.

frogcheese 2013-12-22 10:45

It's a nice spin on the tried old classic, and once the civilian ship was introduced it got really hard really quickly. Fun and challenging - though maybe a little too challenging for me :P As others've said, a tracer line for the first screen or so would be a good addition.

dekart 2013-12-22 18:44

I like the twist of the old asteroid game. Pretty solid work.

gatechgrad 2013-12-25 07:47

Neat little shooter/puzzle hybrid. The screen-wrap really makes you think about how to line up your shot. Getting killed by your own shot also adds another interesting level of complexity.

potomak 2013-12-25 09:51

Nice concept, great application of the theme.

y2bd 2013-12-26 03:49

Very cool game, fun too! I loved the crazy redraw effects.

jupiter_hadley 2013-12-26 18:30

This game is really cool, Really love it! I included it in my Ludum Dare Compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look http://youtu.be/mLdQN8xdVMY

johnnysix 2013-12-26 23:43

Started easy and quickly got very tough once civilians were introduced haha. Nice concept and cleanly done with simple graphics and easy to follow controls. Good luck!

sonnybone 2013-12-29 22:45

Cool use of the theme! Nice twist on a classic game. The visuals and audio are appropriate and the gameplay is very challenging.

hnjslater 2014-01-03 09:05

Wow great concept, dead on

diptoman 2014-01-03 12:21

Wow, that was really a spot-on use of the warping mechanic! The fact that you could get killed by your own bullet was really awesome xD
The only downside would be the shot had to be precise, and the control was really a bit loose for that.
Enjoyed it thoroughly.
