I liked it, I remembers me a lot of old asteroids games! By the way is nice to have some audio feedback! Keep it going! :D

Struggled at first to figure out what to do, but it was enjoyable

Enjoyable take on the theme - graphics are solid and controls well, though the background noise was a little distracting. Still fun though.

I like the mix between asteroids and resource management. And the tactical decisions of using the collected energy for buying upgrades. Great work!

nice asteroids like game with an interesting mechanic.

@vehem Thanks, man for the idea, i don't have the time to make the sound quieter, but i'll know for the next time.

@quemagalletas , @peremily, @jason-kennedy and @hhsaez thank you a lot :)

Cool game! Nice take on asteroids with a bit of resource management. It felt somewhat stiff at first because moving was hard. But once I figured out the drone thing it worked. Not sure about the screensaver background because it suggests a completely different direction of movement.

pfeyffer, thanks, you might be right, all this game was about trying to understand and learn particle system in Unity. Maybe sometime i have to find some other solutions.

Nice game! Took me some time though to understand that the purple field was energy for the droids. But when i had it figured out i had a blast.

vipbasil 2017-08-01 10:21

Yeah,Ganiester, i need some tutorial here i think :)

Nice game, but controls may be improved for the better user experience. It would be better (maybe) to rotate ship with mouse or something (fire with LB, drones with RB). Sometimes it's kinda frustrating to evade asteroids and novas(?) and to collect your drones. Anyway, I loved the mechanics and game itself :)

Nice game!

I like the art style, only downside is that the first time i played, i didn't notice the ship.

Maybe the ship should stand out more?

vipbasil 2017-08-01 12:16

Dane, thanks, you are right lb and rb for two weapons is rhe only right idea.

vipbasil 2017-08-01 12:19

Samuli Salonen, yup, i need to make the ship more evident, thank you:)

Cool

thelord 2017-08-01 12:38

Cool

gama-croma 2017-08-02 11:11

I was there!

Seemed really hard to gain energy, so I got stuck on the second level. I like the idea of expanding on asteroids on an interesting way, the player making their own powerups to pick up is cool!

vipbasil 2017-08-03 10:30

3mpty, thank you for a good feedback, i'll think about this mechanics more.

Great job

mindfungus 2017-08-15 22:16

Hey nice job. I liked the graphics - especially the ship and floaty particle clouds. I'm also impressed you were able to put in a whole upgrade system into the game. It was confusing figuring out what I needed to be doing at first and the controls screen is a lot to take in.
