Rocketship Rescue by Rose

[raw]
made by Rose for LD34 (JAM)
Rescue stranded alien astronauts in this two-button twist on Asteroids!

How to play:
- Use left and right arrow keys to move.
- Collect fuel
- Avoid asteroids
- Follow the indicator to find aliens to rescue!

Know issues:
- Collision with asteroids causes the ship to become slightly off-center over time.

I did everything except audio myself, but didn't finish in time to enter the compo. Music is Akiko by Arif_Banto from freesoundtrackmusic.com.

Nice entry, I would have enjoyed some inertia in the movement.

Great game! Really like the beautiful graphics and all the cute aliens. Are they procedurally generated? I must have rescued quite a lot of them without meeting anybody twice :)

Cute game, I really like the portraits. But why is there so much friction in space? Also doesn't my ship get very crowded over time? Very important questions!

Really cute looking game! Others have already pointed out some problems so I won't. I must say though, at times it just felt like a dance with no real difficulty. Still, very nice!

nice polished game - a little more drift would have been good - solid game - well done
