Outer Space by Markus Brand

[raw]
made by Markus Brand for LD34 (JAM)
Used theme: Two button controls.
This is our first project as Team.
The game is simply about navigating through a field of asteroids, without getting your ship crushed.
The control-key makes it a bit more interesting: With it, you can switch between the two different layers, to avoid collisions.
3 Pickups can help you: An automated laser gun, a force shield, and a repair kit.
Let's see how far you can get, and if you can beat the highscore :D

Enjoyable and addictive, the shifting layers mechanic made it a bit different, nice work

Could not get this entry to start. Which file do I need to run? browsed the directories but didn't find anything that would run.

Nice flappy bird style space side scroller. Liked the background/foreground toggle mechanic. Nice job.

Nice simple game although since there is nothing stopping you from just sinking right to the bottom you can get by without doing much. I'd suggest the player should take damage when the touch the borders of the level. Oh and I digged the music props!
ps I liked the use of 2 asteroid layers

Fun, simple entry. Incredible music, awesome in-game physics. The aesthetic is nice, you might want to consider adding more play elements. Overall feels polished. Well done! 5/5 audio.

Really fun game, the Ctrl mechanic was really interesting - although it took a few attempts to understand what it was doing, maybe if you were to work on it more have a small tutorial at the start to explain it? Really enjoyed it though, good work!

Solid entry with some nice music. Gameplay-wise the game was a little to slow at first and close to impossible around 250-300. The mechanics were good even if the laser powerup seemed useless. The score feature was a nice addition and the sound effects blended in well. Good job!

Pro:
+ Very cool mechanics
+ Nice graphics and music
Con:
- Physics seemed a bit odd (specially the "gravity")
Obs:
o Sad that the laser destroys power ups >.<

Great work!
