instability detected by Garett

[raw]
made by Garett for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

A space shooter that gets more UNSTABLE as you play! Effects are random so every round is different.

I had fun trying something a little different, using vector graphics this time. As usual I would have liked to add more if I had more time...

The html5 version, while convenient, runs slowly! Probably because I'm drawing everything in a custom, probably inefficient way...I've included a download for the .exe if you would like a better experience.

Thanks to @cakeknuckles for the music.

Gives off old-school vibes! Simple but nice visuals. I think that you could probably add more enemies to shoot, which would really help to make the sector feel "unstable". I like the music!

The various effects were fun to discover! Made it to about 400.

Nice visual. Random events make each round a different experience.Simple but playable game.

I played the web version. I had to give up at a score of 2000 because it got too slow.

It could definitely be better than the original asteroids game.

A boss level would be awesome too (maybe I just didn't get far enough).

Good game, really liked the simple graphics and the audio. Liked the concept of constantly changing environment, it feels very dynamic and unstable.

Haha, nice 4th-wall-breaking effect when achieving 1k score :grin:
