Great music! I wish the thrust sound was quieter (or just an initial sound) so it didn't block out the music as much. I couldn't get the hang of steering the ship, but I still enjoyed trying due to the game's nice mood. It's cool how the enemy interaction is a non-violent tug-of-war. Overall, a nice and chill game!
It's a bit difficult to get how to control the ship, but after couple tries, it tuns out as a geart game! Thanks!
Controlling the ship was difficult but the mood and the graphics side of the game was great!
Really cool game although I found it a bit difficult to get used to controlling the ship. The graphics are minimalistic but good looking.
This was a nice idea. I liked how the upgrades gave you some encouragement to try to get through the game. The controls were pretty hard though. It would have been a lot more enjoyable if they weren't are hard to use.
Controlling the wrecking ball was difficult but in a fun way. The webGL version stuttered a bit, but from experience I know that making webGL builds is hard :sweat_smile:. The soundtrack was very nice.
Nice space mining game! Feedback: I think the controls are a bit too sluggish for my tastes. I don't mind acceleration buildup or indirect control over my character but this was just a bit too dragged out. I think if it was a bit more responsive then players would also feel more in control of their 'ball and chain' thing and more stimulated to try and really crush things with it. I would have loved to do that. The graphics are a tad minimal/simplistic too but they do work as a sort of homage to the classic Asteroid game and I do think it works for this kind of arcade / high score / stages type of game.
Nice game, it takes me a while to understand how to collect things and even that the red shapes were the enemies, but after a couple of minutes it has been funny. Graphics and music fit so well.
My playthrough (it has 3 videos, obs decided to cut off my recording for some reason):

Freaking frustrating, but for some reason it's just fun. I was confused where the base is located at first even though there's the triangle arrow showing the direction early on in the game. The triangle should show the direction better. Maybe even just convert it into an arrow.
Other than that I enjoyed the game very much. Frustrating, but enjoyable.
Oh yeah, the break should be introduced earlier I feel. Would've made the early parts less frustrating, but I don't know.
@miaw Thank you for recording your experience with the game. It was very interesting and informative to watch how you adapted. Well played sir! :D
Good music selection, the physics were very strong. Really good asteroids vibe to it.
Getting the wrecking ball to move in the direction I wanted it to was pretty frustrating. Overall, I really like the twist on Asteroids. The music was great too.
Nice game! Check out my game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/stonehead-shooter
