The controls are really nice i like how the ship aims forward even when you have the mouse behind it

Doesn't work for me :(((((((( I waanna play. The loadbar doesn't progress and the game doesn't load
Nice job! I like the 8bit like sound effects. I also like the mouse control. I've seen only asteroids and missile. So if you had more time, it could be good to add some new objects to bring more variety to the game. Great game however!
I like how the game looks. Controls are a bit unclear, because you navigate and rotate/aim at the same time. Also asteroids are hard to destroy because they split into parts.
Cool mashup of some retro games! The controls were pretty smooth and it works well with the theme. Good job!
Cool space shooter game! The control was smoooooothy. But I died quite easily tho. With some upgrades, some shop system, it'll be just awesome!
I like the game a lot. It's a cool take on an asteroid clone turning it into a side scroller.
The mouse controls were also cool and felt responsive.
As you know 48 hours isn't very much time, but the game looks promising!
Great work!
Fun! Only problem was that I couldn't tell that the stuff in the background wasn't obstacles at first
"WAIT WAS THAT A MISSILE?? WHO IS SHOOTING ME?"
I had a great surprise when a missile came from my back and hit me. After it I used asteroids to avoid missiles.
Great ideia! Nice work :smile:
Nice work! I like the pixel art. The sound effects are a good match for the game -- I like how the missile sound effect precedes the missile appearing so you know you'll need to dodge. Although it might change the difficulty, I think it might feel more satisfying if the asteroids break apart with each shot rather than requiring multiple shots. Might make it feel more exciting. I like that you chose a space theme -- there weren't a lot of games that went that way so that was creative. Great job!
Nice side scroller! As people have stated, the controls are nice and simple, but are very well implemented and feel great. There is great variation in the speed/size of the asteroids coming at you, the missiles from behind made you move around a bit too! Super work :)
The controlls have a liitle bit of lag, but the gameplay and the SFX are nice
Funny little game. I really like the art style (though the asteroids could make use of some texturing. I mean, you must have spent hours on the background. Just a similar texture for the asteroids as for the planets would improve the look by a lot, I think.) Also the music and sounds fit very well. Great job.
Wow, one of the best. :)
Really fun and simple game! Love how easy it is to control and the art style is great!
Feels really nice! Simplify the mechanic to mouse and click was a good idea. I don't know if it was intentional but I used the rockets shoot at me to trick them into destroying bigger rocks. Excellent game!
Totally reminded me of the old Asteroids game. I really like how they break up into smaller bits. The rockets attacking you was confusing at first, but it adds more challenge, and in fact you can use them to your advantage if you dodge at just the right time.
Nice little game! :) Controls are nice despite some shooting lag, would be nice if there were some powerups maybe for things like repair hull or faster shooting, but overall a good job!
1.43 AU! We made it captain!
The base concept is very cool (was very surprised first to be shot in my back haha). Would have loved to have some kind of power-ups or different asteroids behaviours to renew the gameplay.
Asteroids called they would like there game back now. LOL, so nostalgic of the original, even the sounds.
Wow this was a cool game!
Definitely a more interesting take on the generic "deeper and deeper into space" with "deeper and deeper *into an asteroid belt*". Very cool stuff.
Gameplay was fun! I felt like a true starship captain dodging obstacles and barging my way through asteroids.
Sound and graphics were both clean! I would have liked to see textured asteroids but given they seem to be randomly generated it seems difficult.
Overall well done!
HS: 1.45 AU
Very cool take on the theme. There are many things that you could do to expand the gameplay such as adding powerups or asteroids with enemy bases on them.
Great shooter! This game has a nice nostalgic mood to it. It needs just a couple of little extras to make it more replayable. Like firing speed powerups, or new types of asteroids.
The screen shake and blaster hit animations are a nice touch and make the game feel well polished. I liked the graphics as well.
Love the explosion effects - the rockets that attack you also exploding if they hit the asteroids is cool too since its pretty fun to dodge em that way. I think the score system should use a bigger number, but yeah fun game :)
My high score is 0.85.
