12 Days, It's official. I'm back for LD47. I've submitted some theme suggestions too for the first time this year.

So I spent an embarrasingly long time trying to get Raycasting working. Turns out the collider is NOT meant to be on the parent object.

## So now?

We have lasers and asteroids that go boom!

#### Got it working ####

##### Web Version #####
Not the author here but when it didnt work I yanked a few folders out of the path and ~~found [This Link to the WebGL Version](https://hackerspace.ie/gaz-ludumdare/ld47/LowOrbit/Builds/WEBGL/LöwÖrbit_WebGL/) and~~ it worked great for me and is pretty fun!

Update:
1. [go to this link](https://hackerspace.ie/gaz-ludumdare/ld47/LowOrbit/Builds/WEBGL/) and then
2. click LöwÖrbit_WebGL it does seem to work

##### Mac Version #####
The [other builds seem to be located here](https://hackerspace.ie/gaz-ludumdare/ld47/LowOrbit/Builds/)
~~but @gaz-ireland will have to zip them each up to make them accessible. As is we would have to use something like `wget --mirror --no-parent https://hackerspace.ie/gaz-ludumdare/ld47/LowOrbit/Builds/` if you even have wget~~

@fabdynamic All builds have been zipped now. As for the WebGL I can't seem to get that working with your link?

@gaz-ireland Oh sweet! Thanks for [zipping those up](https://hackerspace.ie/gaz-ludumdare/ld47/LowOrbit/Builds/).

#### Web GL Version Workaround ####

You are right about my link and I can't explain that, as a workaround (and I've tried this a few times) if you
1. [go to this link](https://hackerspace.ie/gaz-ludumdare/ld47/LowOrbit/Builds/WEBGL/) and then
2. click **LöwÖrbit_WebGL** it does seem to work

Does that work for you?

HTML version didn't work, I used the alt link/method and that did. Not sure if the asteroids are supposed to actually hit the ship, but I finally just stopped moving and shooting and everything for the next minute flew past me. Then it went to loop 2 and hung. Has promise and with some more work could be really fun.

Good game feel, and I like the music!

some of the asteroids kinda looked like peanuts and i really liked that for some reason. graphics/sounds worked well and the gameplay was very consistent! good work~

@hungrycatgames Once the asteroids hit it's meant to be over.. I never really tested it to see what happened after the timer ran out as it's meant to be stopped. But thanks for playing!

None of the links work - gotta take out those umlauts! Nice work. I liked the asteroid variations.

I get a 404 error to download the game 🤔

@mrbamboo - Some people are having problems resolving the umlauts in the url, try this [link] (http://hackerspace.ie/gaz-ludumdare/ld47/LowOrbit/Builds/)

Awesome music, best I've heard so far. Solid game too. Just chilling and shooting some asteroids :) Only complaint I have is that I didn't really feel the loopiness, all it seemed to do is reset the timer.

http response 404 :thinking: I can't get neither of files (webGl and Windows)

Ok I tried this new link and found the webgl version in directories. The game definitly needs polishing but I had fun playing it. Well done

I liked the game, very simple but straight forward. I think it needs a game over screen so you don't have to refresh the continue playing. Nice entry!

Very simple but stucked in a loop ! hehe

Not sure why, but your link 404s. I navigated there manually.
I liked the low poly graphics combined with the light effects, looks a lot like some elite-likes I really loved.
Wish there was a way to restart once you crashed.
Nice entry :grin: :thumbsup:

Nice music. The movement feels a bit weird because the background doesn´t scroll. Once I crash into an asteroid the game just finishes and there is no way to restart.

Nice little game :slight_smile: Would have been nice with some sort of limit to how many times you can shoot and a way to restart. All in all it's a job well done :smile:
