Asteroid simulator by crazyrems

[raw]
made by crazyrems for LD30 (JAM)
You're an asteroid, living in the peaceful, quiet and empty space, until the noisy satelites orbiting around planets came break that silence.
Just crush the satelites to remove the connections between the worlds and avoid crashing on planets.

WASD for moving Up/Left/Down/Right
EQ for moving Forward/Backward
Mouse for looking around
L.Click for boost
P for Pause
R to respawn
Escape to quit

Tip: Use the planets gravity to move faster, and use small amount of boost to exit them.

Specs: Don't forget to install the latest .NET on Windows or MonoGame on Mac/Linux

Cool game.
A bit fiddly controls but the music was great.

I am on W8.1 x64. Did you get the latests .Net 4 framework distribuable ? http://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/download/details.aspx?id=17851

I like the idea, couldn't get my head around the steering very well and more or less used mainly the boost to direct myself into the satellites.

The controls are a little hard, but very nice graphics and music

I could never manage to return, once pointing away from a planet...

Controls are awful! I just couldn't play. Which is sad, because it looked cool...

Would have been 5/5 for fun if not for the wonky controls (although that could be me). I ended up just using the boost, which was extremely fun and worked. However in order to complete some levels this meant I would have to save my energy.

The art was crazy enough to get you some stars. It felt interactive and energetic.

Cool, could probably do with nicer controls, maybe just sending the asteroid in the direction the player is looking? However, nice original concept and good execution

Loved the graphics and music, especially the story panels. Controls were strange. I found it easier to use boost to steer instead of WASD. Fun game!
