Originally it synced the laser colour with the party lights, too. Actually I'm not sure why it didn't do that in the final build, I think I must have forgotten to re-enable it, hah. Everything in the code is actually synced with the beat of the music, but we didn't end up getting the more complex asteroid patterns in so it's not very noticeable.

You got a fun idea and managed to turn it into something playable, and that is already a good thing. Also, when the music stops, you can't shoot anymore, and the asteroids start roaming freely, and the earth is destroyed. I don't think that was intentional, but it makes sense - if you hold left mouse button down, the shooting becomes synced with the beats, so that means you are fueled by the party, and when the party is over, you are no more too.. I'm probably overthinking it.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"colan","author_uid":"1178921","time":"2020-04-22T14:51:47Z","epoch":1587567107,"modified":1587567107,"text":"really has a good art. gameplay is very simple, but I know we had little time to do it.. anyway, good job!\n\nIf you can check my game, I would be grateful","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"kkrac","author_uid":"1030210","time":"2020-04-22T23:04:03Z","epoch":1587596643,"modified":1587596643,"text":"Missile Command 2000!\nNice graphics, the mouse control is a bit \"loose\".","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Annie Owl","author_uid":"1053290","time":"2020-04-23T21:46:22Z","epoch":1587678382,"modified":1587678382,"text":"That was a fun little game :slight_smile: I wish there was some kind of score at the end, but that's alright.
