One Chance by Huskitch

[raw]
made by Huskitch for LD28 (COMPO)
One chance sees you pilot your ship throughout the solar system in an attempt to foil a nemesis's plot.

P = warp
K = drop bomb (only when near asteroid or it won't explode!)
L = explode bomb
Space = launch tether at asteroid
C = tug asteroid when close and tether is attached

I wanted this game to be a fast-paced space shooter at first, but it turned out to be more atmospheric.

WASDQE = move ship

Left click = rotate camera
Scroll wheel = zoom

May the green square guide you on your travels, soldier.

Oh and, don't get too close to the planet, because I haven't had time to repair your shields!

Cool game, it's very serene! With a bit more polish and a less abrupt ending it could be even better. Nice looking planet btw ;)

I really couldn't figure out what to do other than moving around. The ship model looks really nice though.

Though the game is a little buggy (warp drive gets stuck on sometimes, and the tether doesn't always seem to launch, also what's up with the red flare things?), it has some potential for expanding into a larger game. Not many towing large asteroid games out there, could be a cool mechanic to explore further. Anyways, nice work,

I couldn't get it to play out as the instructions say. There's tons of potential here, but it looks like you bit off a lot for a 48 hour jam :/

Really nice music and atmosphere! Not very intuitive controls, would prefer an easier way to throttle and a camera fixed behind the ship at all times. Otherwise good job ;)

Gameplay was a bit confusing and could use more work / explanation. But i really liked the atmosphere the music and the colours created.

A few things didn't end up working as I'd hoped, such as the collision on the asteroid and the enemies actually shooting you.. but eh, I did what I could!

Nice graphics. Difficult game to figure out even with the instructons.

Tricky game. Amazing atmosphere though! Music fits great, and just floating around in space feels great too. 5/5 in mood.

Looks and sounds great but why use a side view, sorry didn't get the flight mechanic, possibly due to the camera angle.

I was lost. But space is big and I forgive that. The mood was definitely set with this game

Arowx, you can rotate the view using left mouse and zoom using scroll wheel!

Saw this game after searching for other space games (I made one too!). Great graphics and atmosphere.

To fix the green marker bug, I assume you are using worldtoscreenpoint? Hide the marker if the screenpoint.z <= 0 (behind you)

Anyway, great concept but I was initially confused about the controls. A fixed camera would have been more ideal I think!

Love the music, atmosphere, art.. controls are not very easy to use. Im trying to fly towards that green box.. But with warp enabled it doesnt seem to get any closer or is it a bug?

Intresting Game, I like the ship art. But the description was a bit vague and it is never really clear where your headed.

Great mood, great lighting, great sound... The presentation on this is perfect, but I wish there was more depth to the gameplay (but for a 48 hour entry, I can't complain too much). I would love to see what you could do with this without the 48-hour restriction. Great work!

navigation is rather difficult, so I couldn't really complete the mission. graphics and sound track are excellent, and it creates a great mood. well done.

Was really cool, I liked the flight simulator like mechanics and the space theme in general. Really nice work on the warping and the shockwave. The music was a nice match too, made it more eerie. Good job!

Graphics, audio and mood are very nice. I didn't really understand the gameplay, however. I flew to a couple of asteroids, tried to tether, and launch and blew up a bomb and the game ended. I think there's a lot here to work with, just need more polish time. Very nice effort for 48hrs. Continue with it!

Cool graphics, haven't played a space game for ages. There were a lot of buttons and it was a little confusing. Very good work on the ship model.

The controls are painstakingly hard! x.x
The game needed some more explanation, took some time to get used to. But visuals and overall atmosphere is very nice!

Entirely confused. Possibly worth keeping the controls on-screen for a while - especially worth pointing out the mouse controls. Perhaps you could let the players get used to how to get around - and maaan, that ship could be easier to turn about...!

Very, very pretty though. Lots of lovely lensflare and the music is suitably atmospheric.

I was confused for a while about how to move at all (spoiler: shift turns up the throttle) and then I had a hell of a time finding the asteroid (the green dotted square is very useful but I thought you were talking about the large green rectangle on the screen always!). But then I found it and blew it up with a few seconds to spare. :) Nice graphics and music!

Okay, I tried several times and could not for any amount attach the tow cable to the asteroid. Also I tried to look in it's direction and ow my eyes! This also has one of the most difficult control schemes of any ludum dare game I have yet to play. Very pretty, but fairly buggy.

Great game, It got better when I found out that you can use the mouse wheel.

The mood is very good i love it, but i was a bit confused at first with the bomb because i didn't know if it landed on the astroid or not. Good job
