12 Days, It's official. I'm back for LD47. I've submitted some theme suggestions too for the first time this year.

Pew Pew

So I spent an embarrasingly long time trying to get Raycasting working. Turns out the collider is NOT meant to be on the parent object.

So now?

We have lasers and asteroids that go boom!

@ace17 @sinusquell - Whoops, Sorry guys I crashed straight after - Link https://hackerspace.ie/gaz-ludumdare/ld47/LowOrbit/Builds/WEBGL/LöwÖrbit_WebGL/

I still have the error for the web version @gaz-ireland

Still having trouble with the HTML link

#### Got it working ####

##### Web Version ##### Not the author here but when it didnt work I yanked a few folders out of the path and ~~found [This Link to the WebGL Version](https://hackerspace.ie/gaz-ludumdare/ld47/LowOrbit/Builds/WEBGL/LöwÖrbit_WebGL/) and~~ it worked great for me and is pretty fun!

Update: 1. [go to this link](https://hackerspace.ie/gaz-ludumdare/ld47/LowOrbit/Builds/WEBGL/) and then 2. click LöwÖrbit_WebGL it does seem to work

##### Mac Version ##### The [other builds seem to be located here](https://hackerspace.ie/gaz-ludumdare/ld47/LowOrbit/Builds/) ~~but @gaz-ireland will have to zip them each up to make them accessible. As is we would have to use something like `wget --mirror --no-parent https://hackerspace.ie/gaz-ludumdare/ld47/LowOrbit/Builds/` if you even have wget~~

@fabdynamic All builds have been zipped now. As for the WebGL I can't seem to get that working with your link?

fabdynamic 2020-10-05 16:43

@gaz-ireland Oh sweet! Thanks for [zipping those up](https://hackerspace.ie/gaz-ludumdare/ld47/LowOrbit/Builds/).

#### Web GL Version Workaround ####

You are right about my link and I can't explain that, as a workaround (and I've tried this a few times) if you 1. [go to this link](https://hackerspace.ie/gaz-ludumdare/ld47/LowOrbit/Builds/WEBGL/) and then 2. click **LöwÖrbit_WebGL** it does seem to work

Does that work for you?

HTML version didn't work, I used the alt link/method and that did. Not sure if the asteroids are supposed to actually hit the ship, but I finally just stopped moving and shooting and everything for the next minute flew past me. Then it went to loop 2 and hung. Has promise and with some more work could be really fun.

congusbongus 2020-10-08 01:56

Good game feel, and I like the music!

gaz-ireland 2020-10-08 01:57

@hungrycatgames Once the asteroids hit it's meant to be over.. I never really tested it to see what happened after the timer ran out as it's meant to be stopped. But thanks for playing!

nethead 2020-10-08 01:57

some of the asteroids kinda looked like peanuts and i really liked that for some reason. graphics/sounds worked well and the gameplay was very consistent! good work~

afroant 2020-10-08 02:03

None of the links work - gotta take out those umlauts! Nice work. I liked the asteroid variations.

mrbamboo 2020-10-08 03:05

I get a 404 error to download the game 🤔

gaz-ireland 2020-10-08 04:31

@mrbamboo - Some people are having problems resolving the umlauts in the url, try this [link] (http://hackerspace.ie/gaz-ludumdare/ld47/LowOrbit/Builds/)

iorena 2020-10-08 08:52

Awesome music, best I've heard so far. Solid game too. Just chilling and shooting some asteroids :) Only complaint I have is that I didn't really feel the loopiness, all it seemed to do is reset the timer.

arad-hamidsamiee 2020-10-08 09:53

http response 404 :thinking: I can't get neither of files (webGl and Windows)

arad-hamidsamiee 2020-10-08 10:04

Ok I tried this new link and found the webgl version in directories. The game definitly needs polishing but I had fun playing it. Well done

nachodlv 2020-10-08 14:50

I liked the game, very simple but straight forward. I think it needs a game over screen so you don't have to refresh the continue playing. Nice entry!

mrbamboo 2020-10-08 16:43

Very simple but stucked in a loop ! hehe

netmute 2020-10-10 09:48

Not sure why, but your link 404s. I navigated there manually. I liked the low poly graphics combined with the light effects, looks a lot like some elite-likes I really loved. Wish there was a way to restart once you crashed. Nice entry :grin: :thumbsup:

el-pepi 2020-10-11 21:54

Nice music. The movement feels a bit weird because the background doesn´t scroll. Once I crash into an asteroid the game just finishes and there is no way to restart.

tim-eriksen 2020-10-27 13:08

Nice little game :slight_smile: Would have been nice with some sort of limit to how many times you can shoot and a way to restart. All in all it's a job well done :smile:

jamison 2020-10-27 17:12

Links are broken for me :\
