Wasn't able to multiplayer, but seems good.
The pickups are so tiny! Good job making space seem spooky and unforgiving.
This was neat. Getting the fuels was sometimes tricky, because they were so small, but a little practise and it got easier. Graphics were simple but pleasent. Nice game.
High score 36 on 3rd try! I kinda had the advantage because my game has similar space controls, so I've been driving in space for a few days now. The game works fine in WINE btw.
I really like that, I didn't expect at first to like it, but it's another take on asteroids and really the 4 player mode is great idea, things colliding, asteroids growing, so much fun even if I have to find 3 more players to try it, I just spawned the 4 players and played with one smashing into others, funny.
Nice! Glad it's not insta-death on hitting the asteroids. Nice idea with the asteroids growing.
This was a nice change of pace! I was expecting to be blown to smithereens by the asteroids, but then I just bumped into one. That was very funny. Can't wait to try this with other players!
The time spent on sound effects was worth its weight in gold :)
I didn't immediately know that I need to grab the glowy green bit, but since there was nothing else to do, I happily did.
Nice, but would better do with no sound instead of the white noise :-)
Good game. I liked how you don't immediately die if you smash into asteroids
Scorched: what you are referring to as white noise, is in fact, pink.
Neat little game! The controls are very good, I had the feeling I was in total control are the time. SFX were a bit harsh but worked fine. I really loved the particles.
Well done!
Fun, definitely took me back to the asteroid blasting days in a very different way!
Very impressed that you managed to squeeze a multiplayer game into one weekend, that's awesome.
I thought the difficulty was tuned very well, the fuel cells were quite tricky to pick up, but it was definitely doable once you got the hang of it.
If I could nitpick about one thing it would be that sometimes due to the shape of your ship and the shape of the asteroids, you can sometimes get stuck against the wall of a large asteroid for a very long time without any way to turn around.
This is simple yet ultra-addicting!
Nice little game, fits both themes quite well :)
nice game
I felt this game was fun, but it does little to make it stand out among other Asteroids variants/dodging games.
I liked how bumping into asteroids costs you fuel, making risky maneuvers viable in certain circumstances (like when a fuel block is touching an asteroid). I also like how turning costs you much more fuel than going straight forward; this has a noticeable effect on my playstyle. However, these innovations are relatively minor and the game is otherwise a relatively unremarkable 'dodge objects to grab other object' game.
I felt that the difficulty takes too long to ramp up. To get a higher score, I first have to play through the much safer early game before the real challenge begins. In this sense, I also felt the merging of asteroids to be counterproductive difficulty-wise; it is far easier to dodge one large asteroid than it is to dodge two smaller asteroids, particularly when you need to move to a specific point (which could be between two asteroids).
The graphics are, simply put, ugly. The spaceship and fuel are in a similar style, looking like the original Asteroids did but in color, but the Asteroids are just gray...somethings. They look ugly and look like they don't belong with the spaceship and fuel. As they also all look the same, this makes the game rather boring to look at. I do like the effect on spaceship movement, and the fact that you can tell where each game element is and what its role is at a glance.
Audio was functional, but boring. The sound of the spaceship felt fitting but hearing it constantly made it feel boring. There was no music and the only other audio was collecting fuel and crashing into something, the latter not occurring much if you're doing it right.
My high score is 30. I could get higher, but the game doesn't feel interesting enough to work my way up to a decent score again.
There's a tiny bug in the game; if you pick up a fuel thing (due to inertia) after running out of fuel (game over), the game suddenly resumes again.
