What I liked:
- The graphics are gorgeous
- Amazing sounds and atmosphere
What I disliked:
- I didn't have a sense of purpose, what are my goals, is the asteroid field infinite or can I escape? I tried to run away from the field too, just for fun, nothing happened, I got lost in the void.
I think just adding a score based on the progression on the field may solve that issue.
a little progress meter would be the next little addition i would make.
all in all, well done :)
But I loved the graphics and the overall premise. Good Job
Anyway is a perfect prototype. Good luck;
Suggestions:
- Shrink the player size to about half. Right now it was near impossible to navigate through the asteroids because the ship was so long it made turning impossible.
- Maybe have the damage you take from crashing into an asteroid scale with how fast you are moving? It would give an extra risk (going fast damages me more if I crash)/ reward (going fast means I waste less energy)
Bugs:
-I once was boosting forward and turning. Then I hit the brakes to stop my forward momentum and instead it boosted me sideways.
Asteroids seems too hard to explode
