I was about to give up thinking there was an infinite respawn of asteoid then I read your description better, and felt the urge to clean this asteroid sceen. I spend one whole hour trying without success... Were you able to do it, yourself ?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Some suggestions :\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- Make the hero bounding box smaller. It's not about difficulty it's about fairness, it's very frustrating to die when asteroids come near without actually touching you. Most shooter even make bounding box smaller than the ship graphics so player have the feeling to be some sort of super bullet dodger :)\r<br\/>- The sfx for shooters are easy to make especially with sfxr and they would add a lot to the mood of your game.\r<br\/>- The ships need to explode. I know we are in space and stuff, but it's also a videogame and player like big explosion ( especialy with screenshakes )\r<br\/>- For your AI problem you should just try to turn your ennemy gfx 90&deg; and they should look a lot smarter :D"}],"images":["ld30\/41125-6594666ae7180e82215084b4976b38ad.jpg","ld30\/41125-ff0fb426d001f8f8adf4e96955b2c49b.jpg","ld30\/41125-a0e91dbea535c3e88ea8e7005cbe770e.jpg","ld30\/41125-db7796bf7dc2fba766ce62b227794ded.jpg","ld30\/41125-1f191a90f4b64a7815ec082c534f8c2e.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/g3zlkasb6x2k9e1\/Ludum%20Dare%20Entry.zip?dl=0","text":"Windows [Sorry.

You are meant to find this hard. Death is the main feature in this game. And yes, to answer your question, it is possible - I have completed it twice.\r\n\r\nThe controls are simple:\r\nArrow keys to move,\r\nSpace to fire\r\n\r\nThe game-play is hard:\r\nDon't die.\r\n\r\nThere is no sound, and the AI is a bit strange, but it was the best I was able to complete in the time limit.
