astropuzz by unfinished

[raw]
made by unfinished for LD 41 (JAM)

(ONLY-ONE-WEEK-LATE-EDITION)

Farm the asteroids with dashed lines for scrap by flying next to them. You have 4 different weapons (keys Space, V, C, X). Asteroids can only be destroyed by weapons with matching signatures. The asteroids signature is hidden in the beginning and can be scanned in the space station (or guessed).

When the space station approaches, you will see a portal on the left and right border. On the space station use the arrow keys and space to navigate.

Great implementation. I enjoyed playing.
I also liked the visual, although I would have seen more custom self made astroid graphics.

Keep up the great work!!

THIS GAME IS NOT UNFINISHED!!! Great game about collecting resources to power up your ship. Only problem I have is that this game don't give you the controls to fully utilize the features of your ship. What you mean by that? Scanning the meteors for specific weapon signatures is frankly b#¬¬$#!%.

Brought back some memories of asteroids. I did like the mining to gain resources to upgrade.

this game was a lot of fun :D. I really enjoyed the concept and the implementation of it. I do think the GUI should glow a little more so i know what i'm on. I had an issue where i wasn't understanding how the menu operated because i couldn't see the highlight that well. I got over that quickly however so that didn't take away the experience to much. Overall a fun little game :)

Surprisingly fun little game! I really liked the mining and resource management aspect of the gameplay. Sccanning for asteroid signatures honestly was kinda tedious so instead I focused on dodging and flying really close to the dotted asteroids, racking up a lot of scrap and lasting a while! I think this game has a lot
of potential; good work!

Nice combination! I like the idea. Mining and resource management really add to the gameplay. I think that would be good if the mining distance was a little bigger, because the ship is so hard to control. Also scanning asteroid signatures feels unnecessary. That being said, great game! =)

Really refreshing. While playing I had sort of 'Geometry wars' vibe and the shop remind me bit of good old 'FTL' :) The mechanics are fun and the gameplay generally good. It would be great to polish the objects a little along with he ship and perhaps give an option to use different ships. Overall really nice entry. Good Job

Classic with a twist! Shadowing asteroid to drain them is an entirely different feel than the original astoids.
Visuals & UI are nice and to the point, keeps to the theme.

Did not fully 'get' the weapons need to match asteroid thing tho - my regular pewpew weapon seemed good enough.
