[raw]
made by Nestral for Ludum Dare 49 (COMPO)

There is an unstable nuclear reactor in space! For whatever reason, your goal is to protect the reactor from random asteroids. Beware that when the asteroids hit the reactor, they make it even less stable. Do not explode!

You can use asteroid dust to stabilize the reactor or to use its instability to explode the asteroids! (Obviously, asteroid dust helps you do that)

Controls:

  • WASD / Arrow keys to move

  • F to open/close shop menu

  • AD / Arrow keys to select an item in the shop

  • Space / Enter to purchase an item from the shop!

Made using Rust programming language

Fun, simple, well-executed game. I started off chasing after every asteroid and got overwhelmed quickly at the mass of rocks on screen. When I took a step back and only went after the threatening ones, things smoothed out. The controls are very enjoyable just to fly around.

I like the idea of a asteroids like game, where you ship does the damage. I like the graphics and, in general, this game would have been right at home on an older Atari console.
Very nicely done!
