Only problems is that i don't know how to play. I did't menage to anything on 5 tries on easy :(
I am curious, though, if this idea came from the Stargate SG-1 episode, Fail Safe (S5E17) where Anubis sent an asteroid to impact Earth or if it is based off the actual asteroid, Apophis (which just happened to be another Goa'uld from SG-1), which had been predicted to collide with Earth on April 13, 2029. Either way, great game!
I agree with @khorm, though, that there is little replay value, although I think that until you have beat it on hard, there is some. Perhaps planets with differing gravities that affect the asteroid in unique ways?
As people have said, there's little replay value once you succeed once so maybe a little variety on scenarios would go a long way here.
A really visually pleasing game, very well done!
Good job!
The UI also fits perfectly with the realistic style, would love to see this go further!
Gorgeous visuals, I wish the impact had been more eventful. But it's a jam game.
Thanks for the submission!
The graphics are amazingly beautiful. The sound is great, too. No sound fx, just like in a vacuum, but the music is such a mood enhancer, and imparts a sense of greater urgency, and when you fail it's even better. But there should have been some success music, too. It's so hard to earn a victory, you really deserve to hear it when you succeed.
One of my favorites this time. Really nice job.
