Second on High score sheet Yay! Like the development on Asteroids. Sound wasn't working on the Web Player.

Okay game, and made it to the 5th place on the leaderboard - I assume I will be pushed out real soon.

davient - Thanks for the comment. I've come to realize that the version live at the URL I provided is not the version depicted in the screenshots. It includes sounds! I'll update later on today - hopefully it doesn't impact the rules.

Okay, I had the source in Google Drive so I've reuploaded the game at work. If you've played before give your cache a clear and open and reload the URLs provided.

Dang, I was pleasantly surprised at this game! simple but well made and great graphics. Have 4th place on leaderboard

Love the lighting effects! Splitting the game into "levels" might give more of a feeling of progress. The gameplay is really smooth but the game starts to feel same-y after a bit.

Really like the shadows on the asteroids

daftcube 2014-12-09 01:04

Simple but fun. I think it would be much more fun if you added some more content and mechanics to set it apart from the other asteroid-like games.

Pretty cool progression in this and the different ship classes are nice. The Sentinel missile firing has a really good feel to it, especially once I got 'x2' firing...great work!

I feel like health/shield restores spawn too often. I could make many mistakes and not get punished for them.

I found the momentum a little difficult to manage and often sailed straight past power-ups, but I though the game was well put together. Good job.

I didn't get the "on steroids" part, it just felt like a pretty generic asteroids clone. I really think you need to screen wrapping to push the asteroids feel. I thought it was a solid game but I got bored after a few minutes and crashed my ship on purpose. Really nice having online leaderboards!

The shadows was really cool! Liked that you could choose from different ships. =)

classic game but shadow effect give it a cool mood. A leaderboard is rare and cool in a ld entry.

boracho 2014-12-10 23:43

great fun here. Can't beat the classics, but a little bit of innovation would've been nice. Great controls, great sound, great effort overall. nice work

crushenator 2014-12-10 23:43

Cool mate. I felt like it was easy to control. Nothing annoyed me just cruisy gameplay.

justinmullin 2014-12-11 00:01

Fun little Asteroids clone - it was a little too easy, I think. It felt like my score was limited by my stamina, not necessarily by my skill. Still, I enjoyed the experience. =)

Highscore #1? I guess I'm really good at cheating.

I really liked your game and had quite a lot of fun playing it.

mdelally 2014-12-11 01:43

Glad you enjoyed the game. Highscore positions on the leaderboard are reserved for ethical players only, sorry.

Hi there. Nice smooth and slick asteroid clone. Generous powerups, shield nice touch. Great sounds. Good job!

teamquadratic 2014-12-17 05:35

Simple, but cool game. The different classes add some extra fun. I did notice that it starting lagging a bit on my machine when there were lots of asteroids, but that could just be me.

samfreeman05 2014-12-27 03:12

I like the old school style, it reminds me of a mix of r-type and asteroid

gallerdude 2014-12-29 17:34

Very interesting! Feel like it could be more difficult, maybe even a one hit dead system. Different classes add fun variety.
