You right the A.I. is strange.. Like the graphics

Nice game, but you should submit it to the Jam, as you`re meant to create your own graphics for the compo.

Oh, I thought when it said "All publicly available libraries and middleware are allowed." itmeant things like opengameart.com.
Sorry

Hi there. The web link should open and run in a browser - not rated yet

Hey ! i downloaded the game but each time i shoot an asteroid all the sprites becomes invisible... (it seems like the fx is doing weirded things...) It works great when you only shoot enemies though... I'm on windows 8...

it works fine here.
The design of the spaceships si very nice I dig it !
The gameplay itself is a bit crude but functionnal. I was about to give up thinking there was an infinite respawn of asteoid then I read your description better, and felt the urge to clean this asteroid sceen. I spend one whole hour trying without success... Were you able to do it, yourself ?

Some suggestions :

- Make the hero bounding box smaller. It's not about difficulty it's about fairness, it's very frustrating to die when asteroids come near without actually touching you. Most shooter even make bounding box smaller than the ship graphics so player have the feeling to be some sort of super bullet dodger :)
- The sfx for shooters are easy to make especially with sfxr and they would add a lot to the mood of your game.
- The ships need to explode. I know we are in space and stuff, but it's also a videogame and player like big explosion ( especialy with screenshakes )
- For your AI problem you should just try to turn your ennemy gfx 90° and they should look a lot smarter :D
